2004 MERCEDES-BENZ C

2004 Mercedes C55 AMG Estate Purchased by ''someone synonymous with F1 management'' this brilliant silver metallic with black leather, reputedly one of a hand full of RHD Factory cars, the heart of the beast was the hand-built, 5.4-litre V8 M113 engine capable of generating 362bhp and 376 Ib-ft of torque. Perhaps more importantly, 295 of those torques were to be had from 2,000 rpm onwards, a happy arrangement that gave the car instant waves off surging power pretty much whenever required. But for the sort of person who feels more at home in the shadows and quietly revels in the schadenfreude to be had when embarrassing louder, brasher cars at the traffic lights, Sindelfingen's Q-car, the C55 AMG, would always be the weapon of choice. Aside from the fire-breathing engine, AMG's tweaking and whispering also worked wonders on the suspension, steering and handling, these cars came fully loaded, over the last two years this car has had spent just over £13,200 on service and re-commissioning work carried, the present owner purchased it when it was just six months old and has owned it ever since, all be it the mileage quite high, the car has been fully maintained and well looked after and wants for nothing. So much so that the C55 was arguably the first AMG-fettled saloon that was willing and able to take the fight to BMW's 'M' cars. Price £9995.00.
