Weird Headlights on E-bay
« on: March 20, 2004, 19:09:30 »
Has anyone fitted Sedan headlights to a 113? This guy is selling a 64 113 that looks to be frankensteined with sedan headlight fixtures? Looks kind of ummm weird. Ebay #2468161999 Please let me know if anyone has tried this just curious. It looks kind of wierd to see four lamps in front.

I've heard of US-spec W 111 headlight conversions on European Pagodas, but had never seen it. A restorer mentioned to me that he'd seen that done in Germany awhile back. I guess it was "in vogue" at one point.

The headlights are for a 108 or 109 chassie possible 111 chassie. I emailed the owner to let him now and no they will not fit our cars.

I quite like it actually !

I've always loved the stacked lamps on the Coupe !

Wouldn't butcher my car though !

Thats a shame about that red one !

It looks like it was a nice car !

anyone care to comment on the $3500 odd paid for it on eBay? Do you reckon it's could value. Could someone restore it ?

It doesn't take even a half-trained eye to see that this car is a major rust bucket !! Probably not even a good parts car. Too bad..
