A while ago we posted an article regarding the mix-up of a Mercedes Saloon. It is always a great thing to find out the history and to know the reason why some things happened to a car. This particular car also comes with a great story.
A few weeks ago we received a message from James Scott Chalmers, who was the former owner of the mystery Mercedes. He told us that when he bought the car, a Dodge 6 cylinder was fitted. He used it sporadically for several years. Later he installed a 1960's Mercedes Benz engine in it but unfortunately the workshop was invaded by Niteroi favela inhabitants who wanted the land where the workshop was on. The car was partially destroyed and taken apart. Luckily he still has some pictures showing the car in various stages of his ownership from 1969 and on. He owned it until 1991.
