It's just so over the top it does it for me. Another prestige car that shouldn't work with huge flared arches and massive wheels would be the broadspeed jaguar xj12 but they also just work.

Looks like a W111 with (according to DVLA) the 6.3 litre engine. I reckon the mods were done in the 70's/80's, judging by the style and the Mickey Thompson tyres used.

YES! That is indeed awesome. Silly but AWESOME.
How much are W111's worth in good shape? £20-30k? Either way I bet it won't stay like that which is pretty tragic (in my eyes), I'm guessing it'll end up being returned closer to stock.
Although I'm a sucker for unmolested classics, I love this just the way it is! Wonder how much power it actually puts out...

Not my thing personally. Those are one of my favourite style mercs and frankly to me it just looks ruined.

I'd love it without those flares!
Though the big tyres do look spectacular from the back they look like they've been stolen from a van. with the high profile & wheels. Not a fan.

It's been a long time since I saw Mickey Thompsons on anything. Love the back end, but I think I'd've preferred narrower tyres, thinner flares and a bit of nose-down on the front to really finish it off. Awesome looking thing all the same, bit of modifying history.

I was 17 when I saw it featured in the August 1977 Custom Car magazine and has been one of my all-time favourites ever since.
Apparently, it's a 1965 220SE with the front end and roof (!) from a later '69 car. It ran a 5 litre Dodge and 2 speed Torqueflite, had banded steels (15x13 on the front, 15x17 on the back), with bits from all over the Mercedes range and was painted white with a black vinyl roof.
I'd assumed that it met the same fate as even some of the very best custom cars of the time and had disappeared without trace long ago, so it's great to see it still around and better than ever! ;D
