Just saw Eric Clapton's G55 today (not a Kompressor). Nice machine though it had a bit too much bling in the way of chrome.

But the stereo... it alone is probably worth more than most Gs out there in the UK. A cool £30,000....

Strangely I can't seem to remember that many details. Can't remember whether it was LHD or RHD. I think RHD but could be wrong. Can't even remeber the colour other than thinking it was quite nice - I think it was a greyish copper colour.

The chrome everywhere was distracting me... even had the chrome bar under the front spoiler....

Was at Caversham for some repairs to the stereo...

Vaguely remember that Eric got this as his fee for an American commercial. (For G Wagen)

He wanted it in RHD, but there were no more left!! So poor him, had to settle for a Leftie.

Hope I have got this right, a little fuzzy - its an age thing!
