Solved - NEH 347: Mercedes-Benz W114 Compact
« on: February 10, 2010, 11:21:25 AM »
I'm not sure if this is a real car or if someone has been having fun with photoshop!
Whatever, it's got a name and if you can tell me what it is you'll be rewarded with a point!

I'm pretty sure we already had this "fake" car...

Can you point me to it then if it's the same I'll change it for another one.

I did do a very thorough search using the name I have for the car and all possible connotations but nothing showed up!

I may be wrong but I remeber this pic, and the reply of another member pointing out that this is a photoshopped mini conversion of that car (I won't say which one, but radiator and wheel covers scream that out).
In the same post there is also the original pic with the same car in its normal shape as a proof of it.

It can also be another forum, but the fact that it's not a real car remains.
(I'm depending on my memory only, so I can be totally wrong, of course)

Yes, I was pretty sure it was a fake but I thought it might still be fun finding what it's supposed to be!
Is that acceptable?

If it's not a repost and you have a name for it, why not?
I remember what I wrote, but I may be wrong...if someone else remember seeing it here, we can merge them, otherwise everyone can guess (keeping in mind that can be a fake).

You found it!

Here's another photo-shopped picture, which I thought was a bit naffer:
