This might be the first time I see a RHD Gen II Widebody AMG. Very cool.. and I'm sure the license plate is equally valuable to a collector.

I believe 1989 is the cut off year Simon.

Alternatively, the paperwork could be drawn at a 1988 :mrgreen: :oops:

Hi Michel,
unfortunately the cut-off is 1st Jan 1989. Any car made after that is no go.
You can fuzz the production date but if customs give the VIN to MB for a random check, its back to HK with this lovely at your expense.

I need to get the W124 5.6 back on the road anyway so distractions like this are no good!!
