2004 Mercedes-Benz (W204) C55 Saloon
Price: £34,995
Mercedes-Benz has a long tradition of shoehorning its thunderous V8 engines into otherwise understated saloon cars and this W204 C55 AMG is a perfect example of this philosophy. Delivered new via John Weir Mercedes in Falkirk in October 2004, this C55 AMG Saloon was specified in the timeless Mercedes hue of Brilliant Silver over a black leather interior and also benefits from several desirable options, including the highly sought-after Multicontour front seats, a significant upgrade over the standard AMG sports seats, Bi-Xenon headlights and a personal favourite, the driver’s seat-mounted fire extinguisher, more commonly found on German-market cars.
This cherished example remained with its first owner until 2017, covering just 17,000 miles over 13 years. It then passed to a second custodian who clearly recognised its significance, adding a mere 2,000 miles during two years of ownership. In 2019, the car was acquired by its most recent owner, a prominent collector known for seeking out only the very best examples of their kind. Since then, the car has been maintained by Hexagon and other respected specialists and remains in outstanding, unmarked condition throughout.
Now showing just 25,000 miles from new, this is surely one of, if not, the finest W203 C55 AMG saloons available in the UK today.
