A genuine 'Strattons' converted AMG widebody SEC, but without the Hammer quad cam engine option, sold on ebay.co.uk about 3 months back for about 10 bags...

Just goes to show how much of the value for these widebodied SEC's lies in the quad cam engine....

Someone local has a real RHD widebody SEC with the four cam naughty lump. I nearly wet myself when I checked out the mill ! :D It was for sale for about 15k, a bit more than the £1500 I like to pay for a SEC :(

PS: The owner of the white one also owns George Harrisons old W124 Hammer! 8O

Please do....

The additional wood cappings are indicitve of 'extra' AMG treatment from that period....

If the the well heeled owner went as far as the wood, the car is probably loaded full of other rare AMG extra's.... As well as the Hammer engine, there may well a Gleason-Torson LSD....

That car was far from aftermarket shite.

And the Diana joke, if its in reference to what car she snuffed it in, it was an W140 SEL not a W126 SEC.
