No, because in the pre-merger days when AMG was still a tuning company(pre-1998) and not yet absorbed by Mercedes Benz, everything was a la carte.
The customers could pick and choose the AMG bits they wanted and modifications made, according to preference.
The could be an AMG with NO engine transmission or suspension modifications, for example, but have paint, wheel and interior modifications.
Unfortunately, ALL pre merger AMG customer records have disappeared, and the franchised pre merger AMG facilities world wide, have all closed, and their records (they modified customer cars too) in Asia, Europe, the UK and USA and the Middle East -- all of it, except One I know of, are all long out of business, and their records gone, also. |
