How about the Europe only 2000 CLK55 with an M113 producing 342bhp ? slightly down on the quoted 367bhp on the same engine in later cars....just askin'Yes they were.

...396 hp (401 PS; 295 kW) at 5,750 rpm and 520 N⋅m (384 lb⋅ft) at 3,750 rpm of torque in the SLK55 AMG Black Series.
I am aware that a 5.4 M113 is a stroked M113 5.0 but does that alone make it an AMG ? As I said the 2000 CLK had a stroked 5.0 M113 that made it a 5.4, but one that puts out 342bhp as apposed to 362 bhp of the same (but AMG) stroked M113 5.0.
It's either a 5.4 M113 that puts out 342bhp OR a 5.4 M113 that puts out 362bhp..it can not be both.
I did read somewhere that W208 CLK55's where de tuned because as standard they were faster than W210 E55's and Mercedes couldn't justify charging more for a W210 that was slower than a W208.
There were a few clk500s with the 5.5 later non amg engine right at the end of the run I believe.
Looks a bit tired IMO & a cat D but still....

Abb you already own one of the best C43's in the country don't tell me you're looking for another project car now you've finished yours!
BTW I hope you manage to put the AMG bootlid badge on straighter than whoever put that one back on. It looks like Stevie Wonder had a go at it!
