1997 Mercedes Benz E36 AMG Sedan - Aus Delivery - ONLY 400 ever E36's made - 1 of 49 cars - Pre-Merger AMG
We are proud to offer to you this great opportunity in securing this highly sought-after Aus delivery 1996 Mercedes Benz C36 AMG Sedan finished in stunning Green Black Metallic with Black Sports Leather cabin. These iconic AMG's where the first cars supplied from the tuning house in Affalterbach AMG which had been tuning Mercedes cars since the 1960's. This was the first AMG pre-merger factory tuned car that you could buy directly from a Mercedes Benz showroom and Mercedes Benz solely took over AMG in 2005. These highly sought after 1st gen AMG's paved the way for what is now the iconic E63 AMG and at the time in 1996/7 was well over $180k when sold new in Australia. These amazing sports sedan's started life as a E280 Avantgarde then were transported to AMG HO (pre-merger) and then the car was transformed mechanically from the 2.8L straight 6cyl being bored and stroked to 3.6L M104 producing 206KW with 385NM of torque which was equivalent or more then the equivalent BMW M3/540i or HSV GTS. Other major upgrades included S Class brakes and S Class beefed up 4spd automatic and totally revised sports suspension package with the typical AMG subtilties of minor body skirts and tweaks. To finish the outside appeal those classic 17" Monobloch alloys and those classic iconic chrome dual AMG exhaust pipes and minor badge ques. Subtle as AMG was, the true "Wolf in Sheep's Clothing". The rarest of the W210 AMG models due to low productions numbers is the European-spec E 36 as they were not sold in the USA and built only in 1996-1997. They look identical to the W210 E55 series 1 cars pre facelift, but far more rarer.
This lovely clean example was delivery new by Sanderson's Mercedes Sydney in Aug 1997 and has had 3 owners since then finished in original period correct Green Black Metallic with AMG Sports Black/Tan leather cabin with matching doors & mats. Totally original from new and NO performance modifications have been added or deleted and she is totally stock as you want these prized AMG's to be as she left Affalterbach. Just clicked 196,900klms with good service history and recent oils/filters and recent RWC check passing all ok she is ready to be enjoyed by her next custodian. Overall this highly collectable W210 E36 AMG is perfect for any "Young Timers" collection and would suit any astute car collector for future desirability.
Based on the E 280, it was only produced in 1996 and 1997 and was not available in the US market. In Australia, they cost upwards of AUD $185,000 (new) and there were only 49 units sold. The E 36 is powered by a 3.6 L M104 inline-six engine producing 206 kW (276 hp; 280 PS) at 5750 rpm and 385 N⋅m (284 lb⋅ft) at 4000 rpm.[24] The E 36 looks identical to the E 55 (pre-facelift).[citation needed]
