Thanks!
But no Renntech or Brabus are interesting. Only AMG.
And there is no hurry

I think the SoB had a series of 25 made for his guests to enjoy while visiting. I also heard that many of his cars are in disrepair.

There was one for sale about a year ago in the UK. Price was, and don't quote me on this, around GBP 80K at some dealer as I recall. It was in his traditional "Royal" blue. One of the few times the word "Royal" is used appropriately I might add.
Kind Regards,

Ron

As an FYI....
The conversion, MB Code 121 or 0121, was done in Affalterbach on a base 076 model using a modified crank from the non werks CLK GTR (297.397) cars in the M120. In order to access the EPC you need to provide MB with your CLK GTR chassis number so good luck with that...
I read, but cannot verify, that the Sultan of Brunei ordered 25 cars in his colors for the use of guests to play with. One was for sale in either Classic Cars or Sports and Classic Cars, both published in the UK, within the past 18 months or so. When talking about the SoB there are some very good stories, some of which are probably even true....
If you are serious, and I assume you are, I would suggest contacting his solicitors in London with a request. I do know that they have been selling off a few things here and there (fuel prices being what they are the Pengiran probably said something like "Hey Brunei, ya start putting those things on eBay by Friday or I'm tossing them...) so maybe your enquiry will arrive at just the right time. Stranger things have happened.
The above comes from memory and the fact that I am on some pretty strong pain meds while writing this so take it all with a grain of salt.
Kind Regards,

Ron

I was trying to learn more about the 73 engine, saw this thread. Sorry for the 'blast from the past'.
Has been in Greece since at least 2005. I'll let you do the rest of the vetting. Back to my self-education! Cheers~

There are quite a few catch-all discussion threads for stuff that pops up.

GCFSB blogged about a W140 the other day which got me thinking and poking around to see what else is out there. Here's the entry: http://germancarsforsaleblog.com/1999-mercedes-benz-s420/ Looks reasonably clean. Surely there are some flaws here and there, but at $7500 that seems like a lot of...

I have a horrible addiction to trolling craiglist for cars that I: 1) don’t need 2) don’t have time for 3) did I mention ‘don’t need’? One side benefit of this problem is running across ‘cherry’ ads which you really couldn’t make up if you tried. Half laughable, half tear jerkingly sad when...
