AMG Serial Numbers

[weide1]

It was Hartmut Feyhl who wrote that serial numbers of M117 DOHC didn't necessarily begin with number 1.
200 or even 100 were the first. He couldn't exactly remember.

But now i find this 0101 number. It belongs to a 8/1993 C140 AMG 7.0.
Can it be AMG started serial numbers for M120 with 0100 or 0101?

I think this only goes up for M120 LH-Jetronic versions.
Number 0046 for example belongs to a 2/1996 SL70 AMG HMS ME.

Hey!
I have photos of 0067 and 0074 numbers.
Both are on C/W140.

0067 is HMS ME. The Tino Zovko Swiss 470 PS 7.0. Number 0074 i do not know.
Is it HMS ME too?

The story is the engine with the MB number of AMG 0074 belongs to that 7.0 that actually has AMG 0067 number.
AMG 0074 looks to be 6.0 440HP.

Chassis WDB1400571A329972 with 0067 (7.0 470 PS) at first had 0074 (6.0 440 PS)?
Interesting. This i did not know.

That's a fairly small power gain for the 1 liter displacement increase.

6.0 - 440ps = 73.33ps / liter
7.0 - 470ps = 67.14ps / liter

The torque difference should be substantial though.
