R230 SLR McLaren on a R129

Not sure in what forum to post these pics..
I spotted it in central Stockholm this weekend.
Sorry about the lousy quality, but it rained like hell.

That just has a ton of wrong to it...

I've got to roll this over to the 129 forum if you don't mind.

Could it be a test bed? For someone to change that much from an SL/SLR would seem to cost quite a bit of cash. But why the cloth top? An older modified SL? Would really like to learn more about the car in the photo.

This is really nothing to know IMO, it is a just a conversion done by someone with very little if any taste. It looks just awful. An R129 with a R230 back and a SLR nose, it should be destroyed.

I don't think it looks too bad. I think it would look better with the top down.

We thank you for #'s 1 an 4, but I don't know about 2 and 3... no desire to own any of those cars.
