AMG Kitted Cabriolet
I can't verify this is true, but this is listed as a factory AMG kitted cabriolet in Canada. In the least it's a good photo gallery for reference. Looks hot in that dark grey color.

Just a student, flame away if you will.
In my eyes I see the chrome strips on the cladding are indeed color coded. And, all apologies, where do you reference non staggered wheels for all factory 124s from?
Cheers,
Bob

One give away on initial authenticity is the badging...
No pre-merger AMG was badged "///AMG"......pre-merger badge was only "AMG"....

I solely noted the difference between "pre merger" and North American 1994 and up cars...
They were no longer "bespoke"...
The "///AMG" builds unless they were the C36, E36, E60, etc....were rarely performance, more cosmetic kitted cars...

The new logo was in use starting in 1991. The old logo was phased out but existing stock of parts labeled with the old design were inter-mixed with the new design. (e.g. 1992 3.4l AMG had new style AMG exterior emblems but the airbox still carried the old AMG logo)

Thanks !
Time line confirms that badge was changed with the signing of a contract of co-operation between Daimler Benz AG and AMG in 1990....which led to the joint development of the C36 introduced in 1993.
Most Merc dealers were now able to add the kits to new delivery vehicles whereas prior it was only done by one of the few global AMG franchises.
At this point, for the most part, the truely bespoke "ala-carte" AMG builds began to be a thing of the past !!!

Gent's this is likely a JDM car. It has the side markers on the fenders, very low km's. The side skirts are replica - no cutouts for the jack, it has the big gps mount on the dash. And, it's in BC.
Nice car. Makes me want one again.
