There are still a handful of NOS cars out there that can be photographed and used for detailed reference.Restorers must also keep in mind that the Amphi was built in two different facilities with many "running" build modifications. Thus, no two cars probably left the factory exactly alike. Still, the NOS cars should be documented while they are still NOS. Without a historical reference we may soon find that all of the remaining Amphis have been painted yellow!!!

But those details are what makes a car great or just OK.
I know little of Amphi details, but BJ has a 1993 Defender 110 for
sale as well (a model I know inside and out) and although it is a
nice car in just the 3 photos they have on their site I can come up
with about a dozen problems and changes from the stock/ perfect
example they call it.
As someone else said, BJ is the worlds fanciest used car dealership,
so you gotta take it for what it is worth. Its all hype.
If you want to set things apart in the entire Amphi world from a
correct "detail" car compared to a "nice" car, then you have to
organize like the Corvette guys do and make a
judged standard and
list the details and what needs to be where for all to know. That is
when doing all the details will pay off world wide. Until that is
done then you'll just have to settle for knowing you did yours
"correct" so you can sleep easy at night.
Personally I don't agree with the Corvette judged attitude, but to
each his own.
