Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

This gullwing W124 was from a company called Boschert, they used to be hawked around various European car shows in the early 90's as well. I actually loved it, no idea what they cost new, but this one was up for sale last year for $1.1 million. Front is off a R129.
These things used to be quite common (for something so specialised) years ago ...haven't seen one in ages

I used to drive one, mine was based on a Unimog. Thankfully replaced by decent tail lifts on trucks.0 -
There were a few low volume supercar manufacturers in Germany in 80's and early 90's, but the economic downturn from reunification closed a lot of them. Some of my favourite were:
Isdera Imperator 108i, designer Eberhard Schulz had worked on the CW111 for Mercedes which is reflected in the design. ca. 30-35 built, note the rear view mirror is a periscope on the roof.
They also built this, the Commendatore 112i, 350 Km/h, only 2 built, engine and vitals from the W140 600 SE.
Dauer 962, the GT LM Sport version could seemigly be adapted to race in Le Mans from being a European compliant road car with less than 1 hours work for two mechanics.
Then Bitter had these, based on Opel Monza/Senators. Very, verypretty cars, used to see one regularly in Hannover when I lived there.
Coupe had shades of a 400/412
There were loads of others; Ruf, Lotec, Koenig, AMG, all were tuners, some went on to bigger things, some just fell by the wayside.0 -

That's about as extraordinary as a dishwasher. Now if you had a Citroen C6 or a Renault Val Satis I am not sure they would be extraordinary but at least they would be interesting.Live long and Prosper
Peace and long life.

Nothing extraordinary about this car at first glance
except ...
It was a prototype, about ten of them were built in 1966, before hatchbacks really were a thing.
It was several years pre-Golf and really could have been a big success.
Only problem was, unlike the million-seller that the Golf became, it was also German built, but the wrong Germany unfortunately....the GDR.
Engineers developed this to succeed the Trabant which they saw only as a stop-gap solution..the party leadership was of a different opinion and killed the project and so the stop-gap lasted until the wall came down.
The prototype is called Trabant P603
The engineers tried again throughout the 70's with the P610, but that was killed also

That's not in the slightest bit interesting or extraordinary. It's like a milk pudding bland as füķ.0 -
