This one's been for sale for ages and I think has been discussed here before.

"left the factory as a E 320 Coupe and was sent to AMG for specialist tuning"

I'm not sure that the E36 would have been sent to AMG. The only mods are the engine and wheels which would just be done on the normal line?

That grey bumper and skirt needs to be painted black

Being a AMG it dont even have AMG bodykit or colour coded stock body at the very least !

Back then, they wouldnt even give you a stereo, thats an optional extra.

I believe that AMG were still in those days a separate company from MB hence the car didnt have to be brand new to be AMG, also options were different then where you could just have body styling or engine tuning by AMG and everything else standard down to the full works. Its all so different now as they are part of MB which means that you get a standard package ie, engine, suspension, styling, etc.

No the c36 was produced in house, so after the takeover of AMG. At the time of production this car would have been fitted with the engine at factory.

In 1993 the company unveiled the first co-developed vehicle to be born out of the cooperation agreement: the Mercedes-Benz C 36 AMG.

But this car's an E36. Does that make a difference?

The e36 was produced after the merge, anything prior to that will genrally not show amg spec on a datacard. My car is a 94 L and the amg options are listed.

I thought that although the C36 was an 'official' car sold through MB dealerships, it was still made as a modification on an existing model - ie based on a C280, rather than built from scratch like the C43 was.

I'm probably wrong but that's the way I'd understood it

Thats exactly what I thought aswell and that also includes the W210 E36 hence anything there after was all in house.
