This appeared on my FB news feed today via Top Gear as a tribute to "pre-benz AMG"

After our E63 review, some retro "AMGs" that never were... - BBC Top Gear

Most of the pictures a lot of you are probably already familiar with, if you've been to 1000SEL.com. Thought you might enjoy!

Some of those are a little much for my taste (or lack of). I flipped through rather quickly.

The Koenig body kits are a little much. I do like the Gemballa and some of the Carat's interiors though.

Of course this is coming from a guy that just put on a set of refurbed gen II penta's in body color today on his sec....white!

Miami Vice here i come!

How would you notice if a bag splits open on the seat

i think john hef owned one of those, no? and sold it to someone on the forum? maybe not a 1000sel, but something similar? i do recall the original sticker - in the 80's, mind you - was well over $100k. wonderfully ridiculous. (and tasteless, of course, )

yes. the carat duchatelet. now i remember. and i think you could get them armored/ bulletproofed. not suprisingly, they were a bit heavy, when you consider the 126 started out about 4200 lbs. think: 8 m.p.g.
