I wonder if AMG after signing the agreement of co-operation and investment with Mercedes in 1991 caused them to be a bit more of a "car maker" then a "tuner".
Seeing that they began at some point to assign a AMG specific VIN or chassis number would seem to indicate that they kept records of later builds...
Somewhere in Affalterbach there must be documentation on later builds that they for whatever reason may not be revealing?
My real question now is with the AMG Japan builds.
Most tend to be late model 1991 and newer, coinciding with the AMG initial merger and most seem to be 124 chassis builds.
Unlike AMG UK, there seems to be no home market RHD builds.
They are extremely unique like the AMG 400E and more facelift GEN II builds.
More "factory" quality then "tuner' crudeness.
By this time Japan was the only AMG franchise still "building" and selling AMG cars.
Consider the possibility that AMG Japan never built any cars and all were built in Affalterbach and exported to Japan ?I wonder if AMG after signing the agreement of co-operation and investment with Mercedes in 1991 caused them to be a bit more of a "car maker" then a "tuner".
