Came across this model this evening made by Matrix. I have never seen this one before and found it to be interesting. Appears to be a combination of old and new. A Mercedes 600 Limo crossed with the fenders of possibly a Mercedes from the 1930s. Does anyone have this model and does a 1:1 actually exist?

I have never seen this one before. Certainly a very interesting vehicle and bound to get attention on the road ! There were a couple of cars with an old Mercedes-Benz design influence. I think the Blackhawk may have been one and another I can't remember the name of right now.

Evidently a one off made in 1980 for King Khalid of Saudi Arabia.
You beat me to it Nickies.

It should surprise no one that I have this model in my collection.
