How on earth can you tell? or have you seen it in the flesh without all of the camouflage.

Sorry guys i still have not mastered the art of putting pics up, but if someone wants to put them up that would be great.

I really hope they have done a fantastic job of disguising a good looking car.

Looks like it echoes a lot of the old Gullwing. Should be a highly desirable car IMHO, but well disguised in most of the pics.

The red one just looks like a chopped porsche. Good though.

If they do the original worthy then this will be fantastic.

I saw a few 300SLR's at the MB museum and they are impressive even at today's standards AND at 50 years old now!

Would have to be one of the all time best.
