ok ive got chatting to a guy called john green , hes the website owner , nice to find some one else with the same car , he hardly ever drives it though due to australian law i guess , its the one that i heard mentioned a while back which ended up there due to a german businessman that went bankrupt.

ok finally got to the bottom of it with the guy from australia's help

amg produced 25 'specials' straight from there factory , after this all the parts were avialable as options in the dealers , my car was built for the original owner by the dealer in germany , he opted for everything as he wanted the full amg , the only difference is he asked for extra stuff that wasnt on the 'specials' which was - 5 speed autobox , full leather interior with heated electric seats. driver and passenger airbag , cruise control , and adjustable steering wheel. these were all optional extras avialable by the dealer too , so basically ive got a full blown amg (even if its not one of the 25 the work was done to amg spec by the authorized mercedes dealer) with lots of extras . after i did some delving in the paperwork ive found the options list which has all the amg stuff ticked.
