[W126 Coupe] SEC in Classic Cars magazine

[richard jaffe]

A guy in the UK is selling a full gen 2 AMG SEC kit on ebay. Probably not widebody though. Seller was going to build himself an AMG 560 SEC and amassed an amazing amount of NOS parts including a 300 HP M117 crate motor.

  thats me! 

  I wrote them a full page article but they used about 2 lines! Wont quit the day job yet!...

  Im busy building my wide body at the moment... 

  I have fitted all the kit apart from the rear flares which my body shop are having fun with.

  One issue I have had is that the front skirt I got with the kit is for Gen 1 car and therefore I have had to use a Gen 1 bumper on a Gen 2 Car! Doesnt look out of place but not right either.

  Does anyone know of an AMG front lip lurking around for a widebody Gen 2? Or maybe if anyone knows a part number I can ask germany?



  Many Thanks & Regards

  I was traveling and picked up a copy of the English Classic Car Magazine (the full name is Thoroughbreds and Classic Cars, but I guess horsepower was more popular than horses...).
   
  One of the articles was on great coupes and featured a 1990 500 SEC in a light mist green with tan interior in stunning condition. The article was very complementary about the car. Pick up a copy if you can find the magazine.
   
  What caught my eye was the "owner testimony" feature they do where an actual owner and enthusiast talks about their ownership experience. For the SEC they featured none other than Jay Manek, who has been know to lurk around these parts.
   
  Good going Jay.
