Wow this owner obviously had some serious expendable income!!! 4V & S2 HPF!

If you had serious coin back in the day you could completely restyle your new SEC!! I love the dash; not so much the exterior! And gull wings means no sunroof...

Great reading even though it’s not entirely accurate! They should’ve consulted me before going to print!! ;):D:rolleyes:

According to this catalog/brochure the badge was not available without 2 or more external pieces. Not a guarantee of authenticity, but it certainly helps to know...

Discontinued pretty much everywhere, but if you’d like to look even more original then this is the place to go: https://www.kingswoodcountry.com.au/buy/car-rego-registration-label-decal-sticker-1953-198/HQR20

Anyone who’s after an old school classic look might be interested in this company in South Australia. I haven’t used them myself, but they might be worth a try for that custom style: http://www.autoshades.com.au/

A group pic from the LCCA archives... This puts faces to names!!

Closer pics, but they still don’t reveal its secrets!!

Since the first link is now dead and the Photobucket debarkle ruined the other pix, I thought I’d update this thread!

Hans also drove the AMG 450SLC touring car.... I may or may not have just been in contact with someone in Argentina who can reveal lots more info on Hans & the cars he drove for AMG!!

Pity they don’t reveal more!!

Under the bonnet of the AMG 500SEC....

Weber anyone?? A 450SLC in Asia of all places! It appears to be an AMG replica (incorrectly sporting post merger stickers), but a nice attempt regardless!

I finally secured my own copy of one of these important small books. It even includes info on the hydropneumatic suspension....

I finally got a copy of this book which reveals some leads to more info on the event and the media release:

I just managed to get a far better screenshot from one of the AMG 450SLC YouTube vids.... Seems AMG were convinced twin throttles and plenums were the way to go.

Under the bonnet of the original AMG 450SLC racing car revealing parts of the intake setup. Spoke to my fabricator yesterday who will be CNC machining the base plates once I source the materials. I will be doing more of the rest myself since he’s flat out until June 2021!!!

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this picture before, but I didn’t understand the significance until just now! Seen post Red Pig racing car days, outside AMG HQ.... It doesn’t seem right that Hans Heyer’s Wiki page says nothing about him racing the Red Pig, or him effectively being AMG’s prototype...

A couple of other pix found on the net, after searching vigorously! No video yet unfortunately. Seems like most of the vids on YouTube of that era are poor quality anyway and sadly only follow the lead cars in circulation on the track.
