Scheib is a company that builds replicas, some of their models are available as kits but it seems their Gullwing is not.

It's based on an SLK.

Two modifications I would make to a 300SL are
A/C, but only if it could be installed and removed without any changes. I do live in a desert.
and maybe a updated radio, maybe.

Agreed.

The interior is particularly disturbing. Modern Mercedes steering wheel, A/T gearbox fused together with an interior that almost looks like the original Gullwing's, but then again doesn't.

Disturbing.

Hong Kong seems to have a disturbing enthusiasm for rebuilding old Mercedes with new AMG parts. Maybe it has something to do with its booming stock market. Remember the 600 landaulet that had a 7.3 AMG engine stuck in it?

The first 300SL with AMG rims was the Sultan of Brunei's car. I'm not saying that this HWA example is bad, but I prefer the original car much more. I like the 1950s interior with plaid seats and I'll take the Rudge wheels over the AMGs.

I'm sorry but I don't really like this concept of upgrading old cars!

I like it when they upgrade the brakes, and safety features, but without changine the design of the car, that is good. But when they change things like the rims and steering wheel to horrid modern stuff, that isn't too good!

I agree. If I lived in the UK, I would buy a Ford Cortina Mark IV 2300 GL and put on new brakes and replace the transmission. I would absolutely not touch the exterior or interior. Unfortunately, I don't live in the UK.

You'd probably be lucky to find one, apart from the ones people have restored, all the others have probably rusted away!

That interior looks awful with a mix of old and new!

Wish they'd leave these cars along!
