This guy makes a new — and improved — version of the original one: https://www.kromm-pagode.de/en/kromm. He exhibited at Essen this year and the car was beautifully engineered.

Somewhere else I made the post about the W113 3.5L V8 mules that Mercedes built in late 1970/early 1971 to run the new motor for the R107.  I used to have a picture of one.
