    Almost perfect “recreation”. But why.is there a difference in position of the two front wheels? ( left side more to the outside than the left one ). And why no airbag ( our 1985 has one ) and not the original switches for the heated seats? I like the details.

      AMG did some conversions of the M117 5.0 V8 to a GETRAG 5-speed manual (the Mercedes box couldn't handle the torque) in the late 70s and early 80s - only a few ever made, but I think it could be done - maybe even to an 560 SL, which has the same engine block but a bigger crankshaft.
