These E55 AMG variants have slowly been increasing in desirability and value, we have been keeping an eye on these cars due to a personal soft spot for them.
In all of our time, we have not seen an example which can compare to this car, be it condition, mileage, or number of owners.

Likely the best E55 AMG in the country.

History

Ordered new by the only owner on the 31st of August 1998.

This E55 had no expense spared when ordered, with many of the option boxes being ticked.
An eye watering order price of 165,862.60 DM (£56,746.07) in 1998!

With the car are the original booklets, contained within the original Mercedes Benz binder, 3x keys, order & order confirmation forms, purchase invoice, and satellite navigation disc.

The car had 2x services recorded before the owner self maintained the vehicle, and we have had a health check and service carried out by Mercedes Benz for peace of mind and records.

Body & Paintwork

As you would fully expect, this E55 looks absolutely fantastic.

All paintwork is 100% original without any touch ups or repairs.
The paint is in great condition having benefited from a professional enhancement detail session ready for sale.

Inspecting the paint, only a couple of very small marks are present which is testament to the only owner who has kept the vehicle away from damage all of its life!

Badges are original, as are all trims, glass and all lights.
A beautifully presented example.

A few small marks are present along the boot edge, but this is minor and would go unnoticed by most.

A stunning, and unrepeatable car.

Interior & Trim

The interior is, dare we say it, even more impressive than the exterior.

Open the door, and you will be greeted by the ‘new – 1999 smell of a Mercedes Benz’.
You will then notice that the original floor mats are retained, and everything appears to be in superb condition.

The pedal rubbers, gear knob, steering wheel, and seats are all unworn.
The rear seats are believed to have never carried passengers, and judging by the condition this is quite possibly correct.

When new, this car was ordered with various options, all of which are still correct and present.
Anthracite/Grey leather interior with dark wood trim, this AMG has a truly luxurious specification. Features include cruise control, dual climate control, electric memory seats, heated seats, auto-dip rearview mirror, electric folding door mirrors, front & rear parking sensors, CD multi changer, Bose sound system, ‘Auto Pilot’ Sat nav, integrated phone, electric rear blind, electric folding mirrors, alarm, rear reading lights, ESP, climate-controlled central cubby, auto-dropping rear headrests, rain sensing wipers, electric glass sunroof, and the list goes on.

Engine

The AMG brand certainly needs no introduction, so we will not bore you with sales waffle.

We will tell you that this E55 AMG is unmodified, exactly as it left the factory.
Sporting 349bhp and 391lb ft, the E55 is still an impressive machine today, mixing luxury with fantastic performance, on a great handling chassis.

The car runs perfectly, as you would expect and has just undergone a full health check and service at a Mercedes Benz main dealer.

As you can see, the engine bay itself present very nicely – looking very fresh and ready to be displayed.

Running Gear

The underside and running gear condition of this car is fantastic.

We have had the car on our ramp, and given the car a simple clean underneath and it has cleaned extremely well, with all original PDI markings.
The running gear is all original and not modified, the original and correct Bilstein suspension is still in place.

Many further pictures are available on request.
