Last of the proper AMG's

1995 MERCEDES C36 AMG AUTO SILVER W202 C43 E36 E55 | eBay

Loved mine, still miss it, and if I had the space I'd buy another, a great car that would be perfect with a getrag 'box.

Funny, I'd suggest that is actually the first of the modern AMG's being offered after AMG had become a subsidiary of MB.

Could you walk into a Mercedes Dealer and order one of these?

That aside, it shows how things have progressed in 20 years.

At around 280hp this was a fast car. Look what a current AMG C Class produces.

EDIT:- I just read that these were disassembled C280 that were finished and taken off the production line then built by AMG so I guess you are right that it was the last real one.

The C43AMG came ready made on a production line, so that would be the first of the new ones I guess.

The 280bhp in the '36 felt faster than the 306bhp in the '43 but that's possibly more down to its revvy nature.

I owned both models at the same time and id go for the C43 if I had a long journey ahead and the C36 if I just wanted to go out for a blast.

Both great cars but for me, and because it was my first AMG, the C36 just shades it.

Cool car, been up for sale forever and a day.

Like the C43 on here, these 202's take their time in finding new keepers.

Only just realised that this was actually my old C36!!!

Probably early onset Alzheimers Lee considering that took 5 months to sink in.

Hmmm, I'll see your M156 and raise you the M113K. No contest

"Metaphorically speaking, to open a can of worms is to examine or attempt to solve some problem, only to inadvertently complicate it and create even more trouble. Literally speaking, opening a can of worms, as most fishermen can attest, can also mean more trouble than you bargained for."

This very c36 is currently for sale, it was at Benz on the green and is quite tatty in the flesh.

I think he paid much less than that...
