The Appeal
The E36 AMG remains one of the rarest and most sought-after iterations of the legendary W124 E-Class, with Mercedes-Benz and AMG producing just ~171 examples worldwide. The vendor's research has reportedly found that only 57 were built in right-hand drive configuration, and of those, a mere 12 were sedans. Our example is believed to be the only black-on-black specification produced, making it truly unique among an already rare breed.
Beyond its remarkable provenance, this E36 AMG benefits from a complete body restoration undertaken in 2017, ensuring its structural integrity and visual appeal have been preserved. The car remains registered in the UK with its V5C present, ready for its next custodian to enjoy this slice of Mercedes-Benz and AMG history.
For collectors of rare German performance saloons or AMG enthusiasts seeking one of the most exclusive examples of the marque's early work, this E36 AMG represents an opportunity that may not present itself again.
