Lovely car, interesting to see a 1991 model with a M117 DOHC and not a M117/9 DOHC. Looks to be a Japan import.

Looks like the engine in this car is a SOHC from the pics. I translated the comments and it is from Japan, you are correct. Very nice late Gen II WB.

I sent a note to Roland about my single ET5 widebody wheel and he says there is very little pre-merger AMG following in Germany - it is much greater in the US. Not sure I believe that comment.

[RBYCC]

I can believe that the USA has the greatest pre-merger AMG interest as the USA was probably the largest market for AMG.

[Dr.Grillz]

Could've sworn initially there was a M117/9 DOHC motor in there! Now I see a SOHC M117 as you said

lol, I was thinking the same. Very cool building, with it's own defensive tower too - I want one of those for my house.

Will be interesting to see how much this one ends up selling for. The +/- 54K US$ "Gross" ask seems above what I would perceive to be the current U.S. market for a Non-DOHC, stock interior, undocumented and presumably no engine mod WB. The 46K US$ "net" seems more in line.

Although - what is the meaning of the "Gross" vs "Net"? Is the Gross what someone would pay to purchase it in Europe (including the VAT)? If a US buyer purchased it, would the 19% VAT have to be paid by the U.S. buyer?

Yeah, you often see these types of foreign listings, for sale in country of origin before import tax.

[Peter72]

VAT can be recovered of sold outside the European Union. Just like "duty free" !

[Dr.Grillz]

Many of the high costing examples end up listed for a while. Would be interesting to know actual sale price.
