1000SEL.com (previously "Those crazy 1980s") is the only site on the web fully dedicated to coachbuilt, tuned and modified luxury cars from the 1975-1995 era. This site is about the late 1970s-early 1980s explosion of tuning- and coachbuilding companies in Germany, the UK and the US that produced custom cars for oil-rich Arabs, Hollywood stars, Kings, Dictators and anybody else with money to buy a luxury car and personalize it at the cost of a second one.

 

This site is exclusively about modified European cars from brands such as:

  • Audi
  • Bentley
  • BMW
  • Ferrari
  • Jaguar 
  • Mercedes-Benz
  • Porsche
  • Range-Rover
  • Rolls-Royce

The conversions covered on this site include:

  • Convertible-conversions
  • Stretch limousines
  • Widebody-conversions
  • Hunting cars 
  • Station car / Shooting brake- conversions
  • High-end interiors
  • Completely rebuilt coach

 

You can expect anything from a very tastefull Mercedes-Benz 500SEC convertible to a vulgar Porsche 911 with Testarossa-style fins. Vulgar or not, we like 'em all! From ABC Exclusive to Zender, all companies and cars will be covered (when I find the time).

 

Hopefully you'll enjoy this website as much as I do compiling it!
