Amazing. Can't wait to read the article and see the vehicle in the metal. The merge of 75 and Merc convertible is seamless. What talent.

Lovely. But l'm not a ragtop man so would still prefer a saloon.

This is an absolute beauty! If it could be reverse-engineered into an electric/battery vehicle and go into production it would surely sell well to enthusiasts who were looking for a modern, environmentally friendly car that had some character. Imagine spending your retirement driving round Europe in one of these!

Incredible work
I guess it solves the problem of water in the boot. FAO Gerry, So when are you converting a F/TF into electric? The design of these little gems are crying out for an electric motor and battery to be dropped in one. |
