A few words about the original:
The Mercedes 450 SLC was a car with a powerful eight-cylinder forked five-liter engine and a three-speed automatic transmission. Mercedes won a couple of races with it in 1979 and 1980, but in 1981 the brand stopped rallying... as for the Dakar, two older competitive 500 SLCs were bought by racer Jochen Mass and had them modified for the 1984 Paris-Dakar Rally. Blue cars however, with white stripes and generous support from Hugo Boss and Blaupunkt, they ended up deep in the field of losers. Mass himself, navigated by the American Stephen Pers, took 62nd place in the car category, Albert Pfuhl and Hans Schuller finished 44th.
My edits:
I modified the front part, completed the protective frame and a few other things, dusted the car a little and made a simple pad. A few photos:
