Crayford did one W114 LWB estate on a 230.6 - "THE CRAYFORD MERCEDES BENZ 114 LWB DACHSHUND - The most unusual of the many varied 114 estates converted had to be the extra long wheelbase 114 stretched estate, aptly it was named "The Dachshund" but Mercedes Benz took exception to one of its cars being named a dog, and started sabre rattling. They also wanted Crayford to refrain from putting the Mercedes logo on its brochures despite giving full Mercedes warranty to the Crayford conversion. Crayford agreed not to print any more, but it had already printed all the brochures it needed. The Crayford Dachshund could accommodate 9 or 12 people (three children facing rearward) plus luggage. The only example sold, It cost £6,991 when new and still survives today with a club member in Oxford." - from here. But pictures here show it is white, has OO 3046 plates, and different side windows. So this was done by someone else, and I'd guess Coleman-Milne or similar. No trace of TYR 663S but it was Aug 77 London issue. |
