[W126 Coupe] That was supposed to be.....History lesson on AMG specifications please...!

[Jay Manek]

HI John,

 

Back in the 80's,AMG were not tied up with MB. They offered all sorts of
bespoke kits and engine mods. 

 

So none of the cars are really AMG's but they would have AMG bits added. I
guess a car with a genuine widebody kit, steering wheel, gauges, wheels and
a quad cam engine would be the closest thing to a AMG SEC..

 

The Chassis numbers wont tell you much im afraid.

Hi Everybody,
 
Questions to the wise and knowledgable! - or can you point me in the right
direction as to where i can get the following info....
 
I understand that factory spec'd AMG SEC's have different chassis numbers
from the standard production line cars...what are the numbers/letters i'm
looking for to say that it is genuine?
 
Is it only with the wide bodied versions or does it apply to other AMG
spec'd SEC's?
 
Was it a case of when buying new you could specify your standard production
car with a body kit, steering wheel, interior, etc, etc at the dealership?
All of my brochures that i got from the dealerships and a visit to the
mercedes museum when i was a school boy do not give me an insight to this.
 
I'm asking as there has been a growing number of widebody and standard
bodied 'AMG spec'd' cars popping up and i would like to know if it is
genuine, aftermarket/dealership, or some chump just bought a load of stuff
on eBay fitted it to the car and stating it's an original AMG?!
 
I understand that a decent history is prefered/desired, but sometimes it not
always all available.
 
And finally - i've come across a few cars with contrasting piping in the
seats - was this an option or other???
 
Many Thanks
 
Jon
