It looks very much like a delorean. There are a couple good homepages for them out on the net, so check them out. I uploaded a couple of pics to the Vault. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews/files/Mercedes%20C111/ Erik The July issue of Classic and Thoroughbred cars has an extensive article on the car. When I was in Switzerland & Germany I made an appointment with the Mercedes History Museum to see the four or five that they have. They let me see one. The rest were unavailable. I explained to the engineer that I have a DeLorean. My PR rep., said the engineers at MB during the DMC saga say that JZD & Co. copied the C111 concept. He then went on to point out some of the styling & engineering, general timeframe, marketing similarities, etc., etc. There are several obvious similarites in my opinion. However when I asked him why he knew so much about the DeLorean automobile, the informal tour was immediately over! Sincerely, Michael
