BenzBoy, the web page you have brought up succinctly illustrates their beautiful array or selection of their wedding car fleet. Additionally, I have also spotted the open roof of the Sedanca de Ville style arrangement. Regards Styria

Styria,
I had to look twice, it sure is a MkV clone for sure.
Even the radiator emblem is almost an exact copy of the Bentley flying B.

I think this is quite a magnificent looking car Styria.
Love the colour.
Is the lower air dam standard on these cars?

Patrick, many years ago I purchased an AMG spoiler/Air Dam from Silver Star Spares. In due course, I had a mould made up which I still have to this day. At that time, I had about ten units made up in Fibreglass, and sold them, painted if so required, for about $380.00 complete. Michel's Red Terror is sporting one of those Air Dams.
Originally, 6.9s only came with a small chin spoiler from the factory. Many 6.9s lost that chin spoiler due to damage when the cars would collapse in the front end for various reasons, and in those days the replacement part from Mercedes was about $140.00, then $220.00, then $360.00 and then Zilch. I experimented with the colour of the double grid above my spoiler. I started off with Black, but in the end I much preferred to Silver to go with the MB877 Petrol Green. It is a pleasant looking unit, and I may as well show it off. I think Michel's is Black, and that's a colour that very well suits the Red of his car. Regards Styria

It's worth the price simply for the front bumper bar.

Lloyds Auction in two weeks, here are my favourites:
Lot 15: 1962 Imperial Coupe
This is a great example of the opulent styling of American cars of the late 50s to early 60s. personally, I think the higher end Chrysler products were some of the best of the era, not only in terms of styling but also engineering. This imperial embodies the excesses of the era and I would be very happy to own it, were I able to house a car almost 6 meters long. The gunmetal grey and salmon colour combo sounds odd to modern standards, but works really well.
Lot 405. 1970 Mercedes 280S
Looks like a nice original W108 that could use a bit of a tidy up, but provides a good foundation. Likely delivered in Africa, or a country with bad fuel, as it has the optional low compression engine. Manual transmission
Lot 415 W123 230
The 230 Carby is not a very popular model, but this one looks in nice original shape and is in a great colour. It was up last month but I didn't get a chance to see what the final bid was.
Lot 420 W123 280CE
These early 280CE's are really special with the unique burl walnut trim, chrome window switches etc. The later cars are just not as nice a place to be. This one is in a good colour and it looks pretty good from the photos. I also think I have seen this car for sale before.

Lot 437 - 1989 300E
One of the last ones before the facelift, this car has a good spec (leather on a series 1) and apparently low miles. Could be a very good starter classic or even daily driver.
Lot 440 - W126 300SE
Nice colour and desirable late spec. Had a cheap respray as they couldn't get the badge position right.
Lot 441 - S124 300TE wagon
The 300TE is not as common as the 230TE or E220, and this series 2 is a nice colour combo. Could use a tidy up but othewise looks like a decent foundation.
Another cheap respray with the badge. Modern wheels look odd, the 8 holes look a lot better if you want the more modern look.
Lot 505 - 1964 Lancia Flavia
One for Brian, i don't know much about these, but it has a very nice design. Barn find. I doubt it would be cheap to restore.
Lot 507 - 1968 Lancia Flavia
This one a four door, not the same flowing lines as the two door, but a handsome car. And probably in better shape than the first one. Red interior is a bonus

Some really good choices there Bryce.
I really couldn't walk away from the Imperial Coupe. What a splendid car - no - what a work of Art essentially. The other car to really appeal to my tastes is the Lancia Flavia. I had the privilege to drive an example with the five speed Manual, and it was uncanningly quiet and effortless in which it drove. I suspect the quietness was achieved by the design of the mechanicals, with the engine being located well forward from the Firewall.
