Following nine happy years of ownership, the time has come for my C32 AMG to find a new home. It's been maintained regardless of cost, and I've been rewarded with an excellent, reliable car with strong (standard) performance.

This car is well known to longstanding members of MBClub, and if you search, you'll find posts going back to 2005 about this very car.

There can't be many cars with such comprehensive history, whether that's documented on a forum, or in what has become a very, very thick folder full of catalogued receipts.

This car is in beautiful, original condition, and completely rust free. There are a few blemishes on the bonnet, commensurate with a very well looked after car of this age and mileage.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask - viewing recommended.

There are probably a few receipts I've filed and not logged over the years, but this should give you a good idea of the service history.

I've not included low cost purchases such as bulbs, oil or fluids unless it's connected to a scheduled service or repair.

All services, and many repairs have been performed by Mercedes-Benz main dealer, although a few repairs (not services) have been completed by well respected independent Mercedes specialists, including Acid @ MSL (Birmingham), JayManek @ Mercland (Nuneaton) and Olly @ PCS (Horndean)
