Bob Grundy Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I was asked the other day by a film company if I knew where they could obtain a Germam Mercedes staff car. This for 'Rommel' to be convayed in as he inspects the Atlantic Wall. The chances of finding a genuine vehicle are small but I recall a replica one advertised on E-bay a couple of years ago. Does anyone know more ? There is no intent to profit by this, only that I said I would help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rog8811 Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 You see these subjects come up on the forum and start thinking of things past..... Some ten years ago I was invited to a private showing of a car collection in Dorking Surrey, in one of the garages there was a shiney black drop head german staff car with the engine out. I chatted with the collections engineer, he said that he had advised against buying "the bl**dy thing" in the first place and had had his head under the bonnet ever since it arrived. I have Googled all sorts of searches and found nothing about the collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now what on earth do I reply to this ? I am still working out how to reply to our Colonial Jeep owning young fellow, I can of course go down two routes but will stick to one for the sake of diplomatic relations.

Bob I think what he means is that to us young whippersnappers (long time since i called myself that!), you are something of a legend in this fine hobby of ours, and therefore it would be only natural for you to have access to whatever mv you wanted !
