THE APPEAL

Compact, well-equipped and surprisingly practical, Mercedes's first-generation A-Class was an instant success when it was revealed to the world in 1997 and by the end of its production in 2004 approximately 1.1 million were sold.

The exceptionally popular vehicle came in various trims and engine choices, ranging from sensible and economical to more performance-orientated options like this rare A210 Evolution.

Registered by Mercedes-Benz of Exeter in November 2003, only a handful of these AMG variant A-Classes were produced. Featuring a 2.1L inline-4 petrol engine, sports suspension and an array of AMG styling, this lightweight supermini is presented well and is supported by a well-documented service book, invoices and receipts.

An ideal option for someone looking for a nimble, enjoyable and affordable car, that offers versatile practicality in a petite form.
