Footnotes

The W202 Mercedes C55 AMG is one of the rarest vehicles to ever be produced by AMG, and it is believed that only 59 were produced in total.

Presented is this exceptionally rare 1998 right-hand drive example. It is believed that this is one of only 26 factory right-hand drive cars, and is neither an engine or AMG swap but an original C55 with AMG "birth certificate" and data sheet to verify. All the AMG specific parts are untouched and original including the speedometer, grille, exhaust, differential and (most importantly) its M113 5.4-litre V8. Many new parts have been fitted for general maintenance and repairs including its front brakes (rotors and pads), front wheel bearings, tie rods, headlamps and fog lamps. It has also had a recent full service with new spark plugs and valve cover gaskets. Finished in silver with a black leather interior, the car is in an excellent condition. This is a UK example and is certainly one of the rarest AMG vehicles on the market.
