Hello Julian..... I saw your post and couldn't help writing ! Hope you don't
mind.

The two statements above are very interesting. I agree with the second one,
as many A2s (tho not all) had no date-of-delivery stamped in (later-model AMG
M151A2s).

However I would appreciate knowing where the "6 1/2 years production" came
from. Is it documented anywhere?

Kind regards......
