Quiller, would You be so kind to post a brochure of S&C Contender XG or any more pictures?


I'll have to do some digging for the brochure but here's a pic from Geneva

I would be greatly thankful, if You could  ;)

By the way, is it true that this car has Mercedes-Benz badge on the steering wheel? The car (2nd picture ) is different collor than the one that is said to be made by S&C (Your picture), so what do You think:

1) The car (2nd picture ) was presented by OPAC in 1995 Geneva and then presented as a S&C (Your picture) in 1996 Geneva
2) The car (2nd picture)  was presented as S&C (designed by OPAC) in 1996 Geneva.
3) Both cars OPAC and S&C were presented in 1996 Geneva (very wild guess  ;D

3) Maybe someone knows how many Of S&Cs were made or what was an expected number?


I just bumped in a magazine on the following (related to an article about the 1999 Geneva Motor Show): "The Status & Class Contender XG: New Swiss Specialist Status & Class will produce 50 units of the Heuliez "Intruder" concept car (1996).  The roof is fixed.  The car costs US$ 270.000 or US$ 200.000 if the purchaser provides the bas car (Mercedes G320)."
