Some 500Es in Tokyo

[dreaming.haze]

Short video, but seems like a unique shop in Tokyo. Some interesting spare parts sitting around.

Looks like I missed this article back in 2020: Made In Germany, Perfected In Japan: J-Auto's World Of AMG - Speedhunters | checking the time of publish, April of 2020, it would make sense I missed it based off world events.

I love the spare parts bling casually on display in pristine condition. Looks like a nice place to sit and have coffee.

Now I know where all the remaining stock of plastic grill inserts went. The amount of the spare parts is impressive they even have seat bottoms for 500E. I WANT ONE!!! !

I wanted their reproduction AMG aero three wheels, but they are only made in 18” vs 17” and they cost just as much if not more than original Oz amg wheels…

Really is a beautiful spot, though!

Also I believe they carry their own spring line up that is similar to limited 500e springs , if I recall correctly!

I've been visiting their site for years. They always have the best of the best in .036's and AMG variants. I remember when they were selling low mileage E500Es for $50k and thought that was high. They also sell outstanding W126's from time to time. They present their cars well.

Many years ago when I was visiting Tokyo for business, the office manager for our Tokyo was kind enough to take me to Garage Current to see some tasty offerings. GC was also a big seller of W126 AMGs and other nice cars like Porsches and BMWs. That day I visited they had an E30 M3 with 25k Km's on the clock with tartan plaid interior - just perfect - for about $30k. That would easily be over $100k now. I went to specifically look at a couple widebody SECs they had for sale. They treated me well. Tokyo is a neat city.

Watched the video also last night (Manila time) . If I knew of this place a lot earlier, as I was in Tokyo last January for the Tokyo Auto Salon 2023. I would have visited this shop for sure.

Japan

Warning: Slightly Off Topic post/reply

During the recent 3 times that I've been to Japan (Osaka-2, Tokyo-1), I had the following observations: the Japanese LOVE MB's as they even have a magazine "Only Mercedes", in Osaka I saw a lot of MB sedan wagons, in Tokyo a lot of G-Class. the 2 cities also have Mercedes Me coffee shop/boutique. The Tokyo Auto Salon had several AMG GT's and G-Class on display.

Japan is now my favorite go-to place ... very clean place, very good but cheap food, LOTS of MB's

IMHO, forget HK and SG
