SA-Code 990 (AMG complete vehicle)
SA-Code 990 (AMG complete vehicle)
A rare pre-merger AMG with the coveted SA code 990 on the data card. This example was first delivered in 1991 as an official AMG complete vehicle directly through Mercedes-Benz. Combined with its unparalleled state of preservation, this vehicle is likely unmatched anywhere in the world.
The vehicle described indeed marks a historic turning point in the relationship between Mercedes-Benz and AMG.
Here are the facts about this special constellation:
1. The 1991 cooperation agreement.
Until 1991, AMG was an independent tuner. Customers had to purchase a vehicle from Mercedes and bring it to Affalterbach for conversion. On **January 1, 1991 **both companies signed a cooperation agreement that allowed AMG products to be distributed and serviced directly through the worldwide Mercedes dealer network.
2. The vehicle: 500 SL 6.0 AMG (R129) The 500 SL 6.0 AMG, orderable via the Mercedes price list from 1991, was one of the first models to benefit from this agreement.
**3. **Historical classificationAlthough the C 36 AMG (1993) is often referred to as the first “jointly developed” vehicle, the 500 SL 6.0 AMG was the pioneer of the official sales channel. It is therefore a document of the era when the “tuning shop” became an official performance brand of the group.
