I've never seen it either! Very, very cool! Horrid mirrors gotta go but the rest ROCKS! I wonder how the load area was resolved? Got any rear-end pics? |

And what about the fuel tank, has it been moved, maybe over the rear axle to give some traction, so many questions about this, would love to know more. Ian |

Guys, its a TATA pickup with a different bonnet, 190 bodykit, lights and nice wheels. (Or a lot of Tata parts were used to make it) |

The whole of the front end looks 190 to me, wings, bonnet, screen, doors, front bumper, if thats a Tata, a hell of a lot of work has gone into it. Ian |

Well done fella, this is a true oddity. Not liking the expanses of chequer-plate or the diagonal sides but the W208 CLK rear lights have been expertly blended in. The fuel filler is up near the cab too, indicating that the stock tank is behind the front seats. |

Nice to see how it was done at last, but I feel the back is a little of a let down.. Agree with Neil, chequer plate is a bit much (maybe black would be better?) and the diagonal sides look wrong, he could have got away with the wheel tubs in there with some kind rectangular boxes fab'd around them. Lights are put in nicely alright, and its clear to see that "split" lights like that are necessary to facilitate the tailgate, but I think W124 Estate rear lights would have been better, of the same age as the car, could nearly look OEM! Or even 190 rear lights mounted low in the bumper some how... Nah scratch the last one, too extreme

Im not a huge fan, but im sure, with some new mirrors, different rear lights etc, it could look great! It is amazing what people can do with a 190! Convertable, DTM Racer, Pick-up, i wonder what will be next....... |
