Is it a 4.5 or 6.9 ? Looks very nice. I like the door locks - looks like they came off a bank vault door. What are the extra knobs on the console ? Was this produced for the US, or someone in Europe ? What happened to the passenger side head rest ? Nice burl tables in the rear and the foot rests. New Becker Mexico as well - Sat/Nav model ?

4.5. W116 450SEL.

Locks. Yes...Additional system of automatic locks, plus "usual" lock on driver door.

It's produced....mmm.... sorry about my bad english.... main parts (exclude interior) produced in Germany in 1979, mmmm.....BUT it was american model (more luxury in that time) . Next - 1979-1980 armoured and make interior in Italy. And install fireproof system in Italy. Restaration -  2004-2007 in Ukraine ;)

Pass.side headrest - no headrest, because it was a rule for cars like that. The BOSS must sit on right rear seat and must can look forward.

Mexico - yes. New model. Navi, flash-cards, mobile phone, GRPS.....

Your car looks fantastic Vad   8) 
It's amazing and I can't believe how good it looks compared to your early photos.  By the way, what happened to your photo link? http://www.oldmerin.net/board/album_personal.php?user_id=345 It doesn't seem to work anymore.  :(

Your bullet proof windows - are they 3x glazed or 4x?

How about the meeting - did you win a prize?  You should have.
So many good looking cars and some interesting modifications.  Great stuff!!!!

oldmerin moved to another server and lost galleries...  >:( :'(

4x glazed

Yeah...win ;) "Best Mercedes-Benz restoration in Ukraine". I have a diploma at home   :D

ALL modifications - is not MY modifications. We made all "as it was". All modifications - made by italians in 1979. We only restore.

Only one new modification - good new anti-theft system. Ukraine here.... i must do this  :'(
