It would be ideal if you know what they are saying... too late to win the car now :( They kept everything original MB style so that it could get the tax free 'H' plate.
Amazing video - those Germans leave nothing out! I guess that's as close as you'll get to a factory build, and notice how they did not use an angle grinder for cutting.
Do they mention the total cost? Probably more than the car was when new...
So that's why they call it a "dream" project..lol
so what was the idea behind it, if you dial the number on screen and answer correctly, you enter a draw to win the car?
It is just a TV show, thez put the whole thing into 10 epidsodes. It's on air constantlz though... This one was first aired in December last zear.

Sadly they didn't mention the total cost, but at some point they did say that the old body would have taken 200hours and €24k to repair so they just used a better condition one. €120/h sounds a bit too much... so perhaps say €90/hour: €90k still! For another thousand euro one could get a brand new 2010 G500 :S
