    Mark, are those your creations? Astonishing!

    A bit above my pay grade... but what "upgrades" could there possibly be?!?
    Never own more cars than you can keep charged batteries in...

    The round Mercedes crest is too high, the headlights are a bit smaller, the front indicators are of the wrong color, it doesn't have the side mirrors, and the doors look different.

    But it doesn't detract from the fact that somebody actually MADE a replica! There's no way in hell it was easy or cheap...
    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

    No they are not mine. I know the owner and the upgrades for me would be as mentioned above about the crest; it needs 300S 260mm headlights, correct rearview mirror, door shape is wrong, and the grill is a little small. I would put a real Gullwing engine in it and reconfigure the dashboard. The W194 just needs to be detailed with hood and trunk lid lightning holes, correct hood and trunk latches and put the correct cylinder head on, correct radiator, lose the A/C and the disc brakes and configure the car to be either one of the serial numbered cars that is missing.
