In the early 1990's. long before AMG's involvement. a
Mercedes-Benz car was made to outlive its owner with superior
engineering and build quality. Turbocharger kits were offered for
both the M103 and M104 engines by Turbo Technics. Mosselman. br/>Turbobandit. MAD modify and LoTec who. at that time. were
approved turbo charger tuner for the LoTec Mercedes-Benz 1000
C supercar project; details of which can be found here:
http://www. topgear. com/car-news/supercar/incredible-1000bhp-one-merc-sale.
Details of LoTec can be found on their website
www. lotec-gmbh. de. These conversions typically raised engine
output to between 300 and 800 horsepower and. during the 1990s. UK
customers were able to buy new vehicles equipped with a Turbo
Technics conversion directly from Mercedes-Benz dealer. Hughes of
Beaconsfield. who produced a limited run of 75 conversions. Today
turbocharger kits for M103-M104 engines are still available from
later tuners in Europe and Asia.

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. 21kms 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. br/>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. 00 worth of enhancements for which the owner has
sought advice from Hughes of Beaconsfield. Hughes have also
confirmed that they are happy to keep servicing this car alongside
the Turbo Technics examples in their Mercedes-Benz dealership. A
genuinely rare Autobahn charger anyone?
