Intentionally trashy looking, Andy and Debra Bond’s 210 is quite a treasure
What do you do when you’ve outdone yourself? It’s a real problem for some of us. Andy Bond certainly found himself in that position. A series of builds, each increasingly nicer than the last, produced a hard act to follow—an immaculate 1955 210 sedan. So a noteworthy follow-up was well nigh impossible.
But then it struck him: Why not build the worst of show, give it 2,500 bhp, and drive it on the road?
The opportunity arose in the shape of an already derelict 1956 210 sedan. “It was a tired old U.K. street racer that had been laid up in Scotland for a few years,” says the motor salvage broker (he buys and sells used-car parts). “A rolling shell battle-scarred by a few hard-earned trophies,” he adds.
He delivered the hulk to Martin “Brain” Kerr at Tubeworks Custom Fabrication in Cheltenham (in England, for future references). There, the chassis got updated from SFI Spec 25.1 to 25.3—all 4130-series tubing.
