Understated Obsidian Black with usual G55 enhancements
Never used on salted roads
Comes with many 2012 body, lights and wheel styling upgrades
The Appeal
The G55 is the supercar that can tackle any surface and cope with family, friends and some luggage. Even pets. With robust, quality Mercedes-Benz engineering and an array of bespoke options, these are popular urban and country conveyances.
This low mileage G55 stands out with its Obsidian Black Metallic paintwork and original panels and presents very well. The high specification includes electric sliding/lifting roof and seat heaters - front and rear - while black leather and wood veneers add a touch of class.
It has just been fitted with new tyres and completed 860 fuss-free miles. Never used on salted roads, this G55 AMG will be UK registered before sale.
Vendor informs us any inspection by AA RAC or Specialists welcome, comprehensive warranty available at additional cost for up to 2 years cover and £2000 per claim.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.
Bid Amount
Increment
£0 to £9,999
£100.00
£10,000 to £49,999
£250.00

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
