NewNiceMrMe Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 I forgot about this one. I spotted it on Sunday, at the Silverlink on North Tyneside, after the Northeast meet. I'm not normally a fan of Mercs but this S Class AMG looked rather nice....with 4 very large exhausts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollox Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 an S430 AMG?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted October 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 Hmm, is that a genuine model then? It looked very genuine. It was an 05 plate too. Nothing looked tacked on or 'imitation' about it (and it had huge wheels). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woppum Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 No its not real, they only give you quads with the 55 and 65 models. I havent seen any that real looking b4, a few clip on but nothing as realistic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted October 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 Oh I see. Well it sounded real. I deliberately put my window down and it sounded very meaty indeed. Hmph, a Chav new S-Class driver eh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon magnifique Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 Hmmmm - chavving up an S class! I know there's various AMG mods available for cooking Merc models, but I didn't know that extended to AMG quad exhausts! The proper S55 AMG is a lovely car though, very much in the mould of the S8 but with an even better soundtrack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted October 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 Could it be that it was an S430 that the owner has then sent to AMG for them to work their magic on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHA Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 All the AMG models don't have the 0 on the engine size description. I think AMG only make new cars, you can't send it there afterwards. Brabus are the people to do that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted October 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 Wow. He was a very old Chav then. I reckon he was at least 65. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonb Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 Wasn't Jimmy Saville then was it MrMe?? Did he have a burberry flat cap on?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woppum Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 Unless it was an AMG which he then debadged and put S430 on the back. Not likely but possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted October 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 Hmm, but look closely because there was an AMG badge on the right hand side of the car on the boot (opposite the S430 badge). I'm really puzzled by this one. It's the most genuine looking AMG car I've seen. Body, wheels, exhausts, badges, everything. He's gone to a lot of effort if it's not an AMG.

jimdiesel Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 As with all Mercs you can buy the AMG body kit and wheels as factory fit options. Only a guess but probably an S430 with an AMG (or other aftermarket) exhaust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I'd have removed the S430 and just had AMG on it if I were going to that much trouble, but there you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
