Pics of rare Mercs

[peppernick]

Found some pictures of some rather rare Mercedes

 

[R2D2]

The black one, I 'm sure was at MB World Stuttgart when I was there. Some nice cars but I can begin to imagine what a A32 would feel like......

 

[Natalie]

I rather like the SL! Expect it shifts somewhat

 

[Bobby Dazzler]

SL730 AMG - heard of an SL73 but not SL730.

A32K -

 

[janner]

The SL730 was an ex Sultan of Brunei car. Lovely car and RHD too.
More here (scroll down)

That widebody W124 is stunning.

 

[BTB 500]

AFAIK the SL73 was a (very low volume) production car, and the SL730 was a one-off with more power.

 

[jaymanek]

the W115 next to the W124 looks interesting too..

Please ignore this reply! Just an edit that went wrong

One off times 6, I once read (although can't remember where now)

The Sultan of Brunei being the Sultan of Brunei, I guess he needed more that one

That one was an awesome machine but up for sale for soooo long on http://www.race-cars.com/
It then appeared with Charles Ironside and was snapped up pretty quickly, and quite rightly so! :bannana:

That A32K was reportedly one of one made for a wealthy car collected by AMG, but it was up for sale a few years ago, with minimal mileage, for 300,000EUR!

Sorry, useless knowledge to share!

Wasn't that gorgeous W124 widebody the 5.6 version at Goodwood last year?

Looks like it to me too.

In fact the red one next door was also there.

 

[A210AMG]

That A32K please tell me they converted it to rear wheel drive?

the wifes A210 (no K....) isn't exactly quick but you cannot get a good get away if anything slightly damp and torque steer.....

We like it though

Its a W108

AMG's 1st race car.

 

[ibrar]

Imagine an A32K....the power on it! I would be scared of rolling the cheeky monkey!

WANT ONE !!!!!!!!

They don't apper to have much faith in the handbrake (if there is one):

Look under the front wheel closest to the camera.

Yep, they were both there, along with a W202 C36 AMG

And IIRC, a W203 C55 AMG with what was very likely wearing a pretend F1 Pace/Medic Car frock!!

Yep, wasn't there an SLR there too as well..

Wonder how many more we can think of?

There was definately a 190 that I caught on the track at the last minute:
