Looks to be a later upgrade of an US spec 380SL to a 5L motor, and various upgrades.

Gen2 amg steering wheel, Recaros, and what look to be awkward looking US spec spoilers. Pity on the rust, tho. Flood recovery?

Pentas and Recaro C's - very cool. Very rare to see the Recaro C's in the AMG 107's here...
