Mercedes-Benz cracks down on illegal 300 SL replica bodies

[showbags]

For some people it doesn't matter how hard they work, they will never be able to afford a 300 SL gullwing.

Then they should never buy one, or a replica. Simple.

So the GT40 replica I'm building should be crushed because I can't afford the 3million dollar price tag of a concourse original?

I LOVE this approach...

I mean FFS, if you want a certain car - BUY THAT CAR!!! Don't do a cheesy knock off and pretend your car is something it's not. If you can't afford the car you want, WORK HARDER!!! Or buy a different car that you can afford.

lol, this coming from the guy having a sook that camaros "are took expensive"


you got any clue what an original 300SL is worth? if this was YOUR car of choice, then itll be all "boo hoo i cant afford a car that i like and now they are destroying replicas"

Exactly, I remember that dribble. Bloody hypocrite.. Jog on Rufys

If only the car manufacterer that are having their car models copied and sold as cheap knock-offs in China could be dealt with similarly. I can understand a replica, but I can't understand a cheap knock off.

 

[ari666]

two of those cheap knock offs were already cheap knock offs... the other one isnt far off either

Meh - I don't have any problem making replicas of old designs that have been out of production for decades and would happily own a GT40 or AC Cobra replica any day. To me, putting one of those old classic bodies on a modern chassis & drivetrain would be just about the ultimate.

A mate of mine has a GT replica - magnificent thing. I'd be interested to see a thread of your build. Pretty sure many others would be too.

Well I would say crush it if those images were actually photos of your build that you had taken.

Maybe you fly your private jet to and from the build to take photos?

I can certainly understand why people on this forum don't like you.

You really think I give a flying #### what people think of me on an online forum? :rofl:

Yes. Absolutely. It's not going to be real. Just another fake. *yawn*

Nope - not me. Never had a sook they were too expensive. Expressed how pissed off I was that something that's sub $40,000 in the USA is $100,000+ in Australia (which is still ridiculous). But you keep being wrong if that's what you like.
