These original AMG product brochures contain various information on the in-period parts and models offered by the Affalterbach and Westmont tuning branches during the ‘80s including deep dive information on W124 Hammers and quad-cam M117 engines. Six different booklets are included in this lot which show exterior cosmetics, engine upgrades, models, and interior appointments. One of the packets carries fifteen individual leaflets showing various models in AMG trim. The seller has taken some pictures of the kind of content the literature shows including parts on display, engine specs, and Hammer information. Overall this pre-merger AMG literature batch shows in excellent condition without foxing, water damage, or tears. International shipping is available from the seller for these rare AMG classic catalogs located in Los Altos, California.
There are five books and one packet included in the overall lot. In the packet there are fifteen different sheets that the seller shows in detail. Included are the postcard style leaflets picturing the AMG models and variants from widebody W201s to W460 G-wagons that could be modified by the tuning outfit in the day. Customers could choose to modify their W460, W201, W124, C124, S124, W126, and C126.
These brochures include parts offerings for both the exterior and interior of various models along with some part numbers. Interior materials and factory nomenclature including different wood veneers are shown on one of the leaflets in the gallery. A quad-cam M117 engine is shown on the Technik brochure. This was the engine installed in the W/C/S124 Hammers and W/C126 6.0 cars. Also shown is the red 6.0 Hammer sedan that was a press car back in the day and featured in Road & Track’s August of 1987 issue.
Information is offered on modifications to S/C/W123s and R107s. There is a column on ordering information and Westmont contact info for customers to custom build their cars. In-period historical writeups are shown featuring AMG history and their DTM success.
Overall this pre-merger AMG literature shows in excellent condition without foxing, water damage, or tears. These literature packets showcase comprehensive technical information and photographs detailing pre-merger AMGs. International shipping is available from the seller for these rare AMG classic catalogs located in Los Altos, California.
As pre-merger AMGs appreciate in value, anything correlated to them also becomes valuable – that’s just the nature of the beast. These AMG brochures are starting to come out of the woodwork and are trickling into the market as information on these cars is scarce. We’re also seeing incorrect data on per-mergers propagate on the internet and in car culture circles through discourse. The books being offered here will help stem the tide of misinformation. These are great to have as a primary source if you own a pre-merger AMG car and want to learn more. The Wesmont and Hamer connection shown in this lot makes it even more valuable as these cars are approaching the seven figure mark. This is a noteworthy collection of literature as it is in excellent physical condition and should be required to own if you have a pre-merger AMG as being educated in these cars is as important as owning/maintaining them.
