Some info

Hi Guys,
Noticed a nice 1995 s600 on ebay and the seller mentioned that this was the final series of S600's that were built in Germany.
I never knew that production moved on that body style.
Any thoughts?

I have read that about 94/5 there was a change in some of the parts sourcing for the W140, and I guess there could have been some minor work done on the US spec cars when they arrived for compliance purposes but MB ships their cars whole to it's markets when they are produced in Germany.
