Coincidently, shortly after this auction ended I was contacted by Kollin Handler from RM Sothebys. He is a pre merger AMG guru and has been following these cars for a while. He was putting together a reunion of the cars and employees from that era. https://233west.com/

The reunion was this past weekend at various locales in the north shore of the Chicago suburbs. Kollin did a magnificent job organizing and coordinating a 3 day event with attendees from all over the world that came in for this. I was only able to attend the Saturday night dinner so I did not get any car pics (there was a roud tour and car show as well). Fuelfed provided coverage of the event

There was lots of reminiscing and stories from back in the day.

----Kollin very nicely called me twice to come down and join in, but I had stuff here going on. he's a super guy and is sending me a bunch of swag. Jake,,,did Richard and Stretch make it? Kollin said this will be an annual thing. Hope to make it next year and bring my 2008 AMG E-63 wagon. One of only 56 imported in 2008 and my absolute favorite driver!!!....Bill S

Yes Richard was there - the guest of honor. I sat with Stretch at dinner Saturday night - was hoping you might have been there as well. I wasn't able to make it Friday and missed out on seeing Kelly and Rich.
