A good friend was engaged at AMG/HWA at this time, when the cars started to fly.
Mercedes tried to delete all evidence, i think until today they don't want to write anything about this programme on their website.
My friend could take one engine with him (in crate), as they don't want to stock spare parts for it. Otherwise the engine parts maybe where trashed (not sure about it).
In 2010 (or so) we tried to sell it over internet, and some guy from scandinavia wanted to buy it, but couldn't make a proper payment.
In the end, he sold it to a guy, who wanted to mount this engine in a tracktool (BMW M3 E46 CSL), but that didn't work in the end.
I just heard, that he also sold the engine to someone else...
