88-300CE TWIN TURBO, 99-C43, 05-G55K, 71-280SL, 94-E320 CAB, 08 CLK63 BLACK SERIES
SIDE BY SIDE
Slightly longer wheelbase, a bit higher and wider overall...
Black Series next to my 1988 C124TT Widebody Repro Build..
For those that are pre merger AMG enthusiasts it's a tribute to the Stratton UK "1AMG" build.
Not just show...about 390 torque at the flywheel can unstick the sticky Kumho's...not bad for a stock internal M103-12V 3.0L I6

Front is an overlay of a stock wheel arch, rear are 80's 911SC.
Porsche sheetmetal was found to be identical to the kits that AMG made in the eighties.
P.S.
In Delaware if you have a six digit plate under 199999 you can have a special slightly oversize plate made. Black finish with riveted stainless steel numbers.

AMG GEN I spoiler will mount either clear or yellow Bosch 55W auxiliary driving lamps like the original car.

They are like snowflakes, with no two being identical.
Each was a bespoke ala carte build for their owners
Doing the build on a 1988 300CE M103-12V for two reasons:
1) Original Stratton's build was on a 1988 with a punched out M103-12V and designated "320CE"
2) I bought the car new in May of 1988 and with only 62K miles it was a candidate first for the period Turbotechnics UK twin turbo install.
After the performance gains I decided to go all the way...
A true symptom of old age...
Wheels are the correct OZ/AMG 3 piece light weight Aero I.
Front 8.5 x 17 ET 17, Rear 10 x 17 ET negative 7
Initial install of the TT kit was done by Brian Murphy@Willow Automotive in Chicago...more then worth transporting it almost 1000 miles to get the tune correct !
