Fast, Turbo Garrett by Lotec and AMG configuration, EVO II dog leg gear box

This 1992 W 124 variation was first registered in early 1993 and is accompanied by a copy of the original build sheet, registered to a Mr Fritz Kellermann of Rothenburg, Germany. Shortly after purchase, Mr Kellermann commissioned LoTec to fit a turbo charger to enhance the performance along with the necessary upgrades and re-mapping which raised the performance of this 320 E to 340bhp at 0.5 bar. It was then TÜV inspected which can be seen within the original TÜV report card, also supplied. Following the engine modification, Mr Kellermann took the car to the then independently owned AMG; the AMG package included body configuration and suspension upgrades, AMG split rim alloy wheels and also flared arches to comfortably house the new modifications. The car was then TÜV inspected again and documented. Whilst these upgrades were taking place, the owner fastidiously kept up with his annual Mercedes-Benz main dealer service schedule which he continued until he sold the car to his brother, Peter Kellermann in September 1965. Peter kept the car until 2010 adding another three service stamps before selling to a Mr Jurjew who kept the car predominantly garaged. Very few miles were then covered until its recent Mercedes-Benz service in May 2015 at 78,321kms which also included fitting a new stainless steel exhaust system. The car was then sold to the new owner who had the car imported to the UK where he resided.

This car presents in fantastic order throughout and is offered with the Sportline spec. which includes air-conditioning, sunroof, electric rear blind and the manual dog-leg gearbox also found in the 190 2.5 EVOII. The comprehensive history file contains the original build sheet and TÜV papers which detail the inspections of both the LoTec and AMG enhancements together with the original stamped service booklet , a current TÜV which is valid until March 2017, UK registration and a current UK MoT test certificate valid until October 2016. This represents the chance to own a rare and well documented example of this special saloon which also benefits from over £20,000 worth of enhancements for which the owner has sought advice from Hughes of Beaconsfield.
