The entire world's supply of want
The best thing about the ad is how they mention they put it next to a Delorean "for scale", because clearly those are mainstream cars & everyone knows exactly how big they are.

Ah yes, the Mercedes blatant Countache ripoff...
Holy offset controls.
I'm up to 3 Mercedes I'd actually like to own now and can't.
Yes, it's gorgeous, but... it's travelled 3500 kilometres and the owner was OK with paying 60,000 Euros for it to be "recommissioned." I honestly can't think of anything printable or inoffensive to say about that.
^^ That was probably for an oil change, air filter & plugs
Hey my wife has an item shaped like this....

There are a LOT of things that age out before they wear out. Brake seals and hoses, door seals, belts, hoses (coolant and fuel), the fuel tank may have needed to be boiled out, etc.
I didn't realize it was a Mercedes until I read the comments. Then I looked up and saw the grille. And those taillights look very 107-ish.

Of all the things I see in the Imperator, I don't see a lot of Countach.
Also, not a Mercedes.
Drool.
I have those seats in my fj40.
Likely far more reliable than the Countach. A more pleasant drive too? I can't imagine a car more desirable and less worthy of desire than the Countach.
yeah, but its got an aftermarket blaupunkt tape deck head unit.
It looks like a countach that went through a rock tumbler.
Mostly what strikes me is how modestly-sized these are. Probably much more of a blast to drive than its larger, heavier contemporaries. About 11" shorter and 7" narrower than the Countach, these Imperators are roughly the size of a FR-S/BRZ, but with a mid-mounted V8 capable of 175 MPH+
I first thought it was the Wankel engined Merc, which makes sense. The performance is what stands out to me. A car that is quick and fast with only 330 hp and from the 80's is cool, and those tires. Want.
If someone parked it in my garage for free, I would give Jay a call to come get it. That thing looks like if would prefer to look like something else.
