September 2005 (55 reg) E55 AMG Estate, 115,800 miles (increasing slightly with daily use.) The MOT runs for 1 year to 15 Nov 2020. The price is £11,950 and the car is in Guildford.
See lots of photos at the end of this post.
The is a 5.4L Supercharged V8 469bhp 516 lb/ft torque
I have owned this car since November 2015, it has just one previous owner (a vet in Brighton) and full main dealer service history, I have both keys, all documentation, it is registered at my address in Guildford and the car is in excellent condition for the age. I have serviced it at MB specialists, mostly Prestige Car Services in Horndean and Merc Medics in Woking. I am going abroad at the start of January for a few months, if I cannot sell the car before then I will store it while I am away.
Some of the key features:
I have upgraded the Bluetooth for the Kufatec Fiscon Pro system. This gives full phone and music integration all controlled by the steering wheel, I tried multiple systems and unlike most others (and the inbuilt MB system) it works really well.
The engine is standard and certainly feels very strong. I am all for a fast car and considered performance upgrades, but considered I can barely use the full power for more than two or three seconds as it is, and I would get more fun out of improving the lovely waffley noise a little. So one cat has had the internals removed, this achieves the aim and makes a nice subtle increase in full throttle sound without droning on the motorway. It passes the MOT emissions tests very easily.
Bought Nov 2015, one previous owner, 79,000 miles and full MB service history and 1 year full warranty
I made full use of the warranty to fix any issues including gear box sensor causing occasional late gear changes, seat (seatbelt) sensor replaced and SBC brake hold function not working correctly.

The bad bits, there are no dents but a few small blemishes:
- Some wear evident on driver’s seat bolster, not major and could be fairly easily treated, see photo
- There is a small crack in the rear bumper, another car reversed into me in a car park. Barely noticeable, see photo.
- A small scratch under the roof bar by the original owner, see photo.
