A Mercedes-Benz 300SL ‘Gullwing’, Porsche Spyder and pre-war Auto Union Grand Prix racer made entirely from reclaimed car parts and random bits of scrap metal by German firm Giganten Aus Stahl – exhibited at this years Frankfurt Motor Show.

Scrap, but not cheap. The Gullwing costs €69,000 and you can tow the Porsche and Auto Union away for €39,000 and €54,000 respectively.
