| RE: AMG Hammer for sale in the UK Further info on the car........apparently this is THE car tested by Road & Track magazine at the Nardo track in Italy in 1986/87 and the managed to get it upto 186mph....I was told that the guy who tested it for R&T may well have been John Lamm....is this a familiar name to you R&T readers in the US?
My next job will be to track down all of the previous owners and find out some more history on the car.
Its only done 47,000 miles from new and has a full MB Service history. The other major job at some stage is to find somebody who can fix the engine.
In the meantime its looking likely that a 5.0 engine from an SEC will be dropped in and at a later stage the AMG engine will be put back.....thats likely to be a long long long way off.
Cheers
