Damn it! I had my left nut ready to ship!

 

I have to question if restoring from that could even be worth it at all - no body is a big problem.

 

i would say well over 200K if you got it done right ... give or take 20K.

 

Didn't the tan Benz belong to Colonel Klink?

 

I have a feeling that a car like this doesn't go to a person who's worried about how much it's going to cost to restore. Rather, this is going to someone who loves both the history of such a car as well as the challenge of finding all the right parts to put it right. Think of it as a 3D Big Ben puzzle that costs A LOT of money.

 

Hi Byron,
just to say thanks for the deal, I'm very happy with both cars
If anyone out there has any interesting old finds for sale let me know, I particularly like to buy old racing cars, espacially european stuff like Lotus, cooper, McLaren etc.
I flew out to meet Byron for the first time over the Christmas break and had a great time, I was entertained in the best tradition, I even got a tour of the Brumos museum
Best Regards
Ian
