Benz never made a rotary powered car. Must be a conversion, would be careful with compliance. Then you kiwi's get away with more than us aussies.

Jeez thats an odd conversion, the old 20b would have been a better match than the 13b.

a few years ago there was an older white merc up here (qld) with a similar motor and air bag suspension if i remember correctly, but the exterior was stock right down to the standard merc wheels

Could be a badly misguided attempt at a homage to the C111. It fails.

Admire the attempt at uniqueness, but no thanks.

Anyone else notice the ridiculous camber on that rear wheel!
Its not some obscure "rotary merc" replica! its a merc styled on the Japanese VIP trend. Looks great IMO, not hte best engine match up though, they shouldve gone the 1JZ!!!! |
