I have been trying to find any information on pre merger AMG's that were built in RHD. I know Stratton's were the guys who did them back in the day, but it's very hard to find information on how many were converted or still exist today.
I follow the Patina Collective on Instagram and they bought a lovely red RHD 3.2ce widebody still with the Strattons kit, a source said only 2 exist, where is the other one?
Of course you could buy these cars less than 10 years ago for a fraction of the price today however I can't help but think there are some old garages full of them, maybe not full but even 1 would be a find, wishful thinking of course.
I went to the Concours of Elegance back in 2018 and saw a RHD 300E with 5.0 AMG conversion, the owner didn't want to sell then and I am sure he doesn't want to sell now. As a keen collector and enthusiast these cars excite me so much more than the modern ones, my G55 gives makes me smile every time I get in it, not when I have to fill it up every 100 miles.
Anyone got any stories about these from way back when or even now? I would love to hear them. There was a thread from 2007 with the then owner of this car, I know it went through Avantgarde around 2014, I imagine to the current owner.
It is a thing of beauty.
