How to put this one in words...you can't really. This is even better than the W203 sedan with the gold wire wheels and a fake converible(landau?) roof!

whoa. the front end looks so realistic !

they should have painted with the regular mb color. That green color is just too bright

I love it, a C320 pickup. I can get rid of my C and my Chevy S-10 and have it all. Too bad it's an ugly green, a nice silver would have made it believable.

mbny

that's actually pretty cool. better color, but i really like the side and rear end. looks pretty mean

BIG PIMPIN!

haha im usually not a fan of these replica cars ( well i did have a 99 integra with a silva front end back in da days )but,i think in the hand of a good modder that car would look very nice.
I would put the bi-xenons 20 Brabus VI wheels, brabus front end and in black

I wonder if it runs?

This is the new loaner vehicle at Buellwinkle's dealership.

Here's a new/old version of that 'truck'. I would really love to buy one or two of these for my transporter(s), taking my car(s) back and forth to the track -- how cool would that be?!!! Unfortunately they say that it is only available in Australia. Lucky Aussies! Hearsay has it that we'll just see about that, though....

Return of the Blue Arrow
Mercedes-Benz Light Commercial vehicles today announced a limited edition of one hundred Blue Arrow Vito vans, to help celebrate the 50th anniversary of Mercedes-Benz van manufacturing.
The Blue Arrow is available in the Vito 115 Van and Crew Cab in both com-pact and extra long variants and includes the following additional features at no extra cost: distinctive ‘Jasper Blue’ metallic paint; 16” alloy wheels; spe-cialised Blue Arrow decals; electric and heated side mirrors; leather trim for the steering wheel and gear shift lever; and comfort seats with armrests for driver and front passenger.
“We are pleased to introduce the Limited Edition Blue Arrow Vito vans into Australia, as the original Blue Arrow has a lot of sentimental history for Mercedes-Benz.
“The colour and numerous added features are sure to be welcomed by our customers, further individualising the Vito Blue Arrow Limited Edition,” said Campbell York, senior executive, responsible for Mercedes-Benz Light Commercial vehicles.
The Blue Arrow has remained an iconic vehicle in Mercedes-Benz history. During the 1954/55 F1 season, the Blue Arrow, named after its distinctive blue paintwork, was developed by the racing manager at the time, Alfred Neubauer, to transport the world famous Mercedes-Benz ‘Silver Arrow’ Race cars between Stuttgart and the race tracks in the shortest time possible. This allowed the mechanics optimum time working on the cars.
The vehicle, which was equipped with an engine from the 300 SL “gull-wing” model, ceased usage when Mercedes-Benz withdrew from Formula 1 at the end of the 1955 season after winning ten out of thirteen races and with two world championships titles under its belt. After this there was no further use for the racing car transporter, which at the time was only two years old. Since it was too heavy to go on display in the Mercedes-Benz Museum, it was pressed into service by the road testing department before eventually being scrapped in 1967.
In the early nineties, restorers decided that they wanted to resurrect the Blue Arrow. This was no simple task, seven years and 6000 working hours later, a replica was built and was put to good use in a familiar role – trans-porting race cars.

I reeeeeeeeeeealy want one of these! Help a feller out, wouldja my Brothers-Down-Under? (I might even be able to get you a date with Brooke or Andre.....)

Outland

Yeah, but you could buy spares from all the rubes here who replace there's with cheapo looking CL style grilles.

Thankfully it's not driveable. All this guy has to do is find someone that owns a C class, Mazda truck, and E class, and needs a parts car. The engine alone would be a cheap 35 hp gain for someone with a 240 or 230.

Outland

I didn't see that in the posting.

It was in the ebay description....
“This vehicle is being sold for parts only and is not operational or street legal. Therefore, upon purchase, it will need to be either towed or trailered. "

ClayJ

Oh, so it's an even better deal?!!! LOL

white_w203

that is just ridiculous

Outland

That doesn't definately mean it doesn't run...perhaps its not streetable. Ebay requires that or it pulls the ad if you in the parts cars listings.

RobertG

how would you register this vehicle? or insure it?

drexappeal

Wow, all I can say is, what would posess anybody to do this to a nice car?

ClayJ

As my good friend Andres Disla used to say, "Look like a bunches crap to me!"

Outland

But, that's just it...they didn't do to it to an nice car. It was an ugly ford running around with Mazda badging. For the truck, this was a step up.

Outland

Its most likely still a Mazda on the title. Insurance and passing inspection and emissions is a whole 'nother problem.
