• Naturally aspirated 5.4-litre AMG V8 luxury saloon
• Highly specified example with desirable factory AMG options
• Eight stamped service entries, seven by Mercedes-Benz main dealers

Combining understated luxury with formidable V8 performance, the Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG was one of the definitive high-performance saloons of its era. Based on the flagship W220 S-Class, the naturally aspirated S55 paired effortless refinement with genuine sports car pace, creating a car equally at home on the motorway or a winding B-road. Long before the era of downsized turbocharged engines, this was AMG at its finest – discreet, immensely capable and powered by a charismatic 5.4-litre V8.

First registered in April 2000, this example is finished in blue, having originally left the factory in Obsidian Black, and is complemented by a black Exclusive leather interior with elegant wood trim.
Factory specification is extensive, featuring the AMG Styling Package, AMG 18-inch alloy wheels, AMG Performance Package, heated and ventilated front and rear seats, electrically adjustable memory seats, electric glass sunroof, Parktronic parking sensors, Keyless-Go, soft-close doors, rear electric blind, Xenon headlamps, wood and leather steering wheel, infrared-reflective glass, heated screen wash system and a CD changer.
Showing 129,589 miles, the car is accompanied by eight stamped service entries, seven of which were completed by Mercedes-Benz main dealers. The history file also contains previous MOT invoices together with the original Mercedes-Benz leather book pack.

The vendor advises there is some minor bubbling to the paintwork and a scratch to the rear bumper, both visible in the online photographs. They also note the steering wheel sits slightly off-centre while driving, suggesting the car would benefit from wheel alignment, although it otherwise drives well and was driven over 50 miles to our auction venue without issue.

Offering effortless long-distance refinement allied with traditional AMG V8 character, the W220 S55 AMG is becoming increasingly appreciated by enthusiasts as one of the last naturally aspirated AMG flagship saloons, making this a compelling opportunity to acquire a generously specified modern classic.
