I know who has one of those.



Barry Taylor, (above right) the now retired owner of AMG West, who I've known since 1985, has a nice, totally original and fully equipped one of them, stashed in his personal home's garage.

He calls it his "Mean Green Machine". I think it's a '79 or an '80 and I have no reason to doubt its authenticity or that he's moved it; it is his treasure.

Several years ago I got to go in there and see it, and it's a w123-type of thistle green one fully loaded with all the Monte Carlo rallye equipment on it.

I don't have a photo of it, but it is real, original and I have no doubt it's still parked in there.
