EQUIPMENT
Smoke Silver Metallic paintwork, Black leather upholstery, 4-speed automatic transmission, 16-inch AMG alloy wheels, 4-wheel drive, Air conditioning, Electric sunroof, Heated and electrically-adjustable front seats, Electric windows, Electric door mirrors, Burred walnut interior trim, Individual front armrests, CD player, Body-coloured exterior trim, Body-coloured spare wheel cover, Side steps, Front fog lights, Bull bar, AMG badging, AMG side exit exhaust.
EXTERIOR
Sporting colour-coded bumpers, wheel arch flares, mirror casings, side steps and rubbing strips, this long-wheelbase G36 really looks the part. The Smoke Silver paintwork retains a deep and uniform shine throughout and, while a few small blisters have begun to show through in a handful of places, the overall appearance is very presentable indeed. The bumpers front and rear are without any major scrapes or scuffs, and the car is nice and straight along both sides.
INTERIOR
The interior boasts full black leather upholstery, all in superb condition throughout. The front seats are heated and electrically-adjustable and further benefit from individual folding armrests, again both in superb order. Other commonly worn items such as the steering wheel and gear selector show few signs of wear, and glancing across the dash you’ll find glossy walnut trim and switchgear that still feels reassuringly solid to operate. The carpets are also in excellent unworn condition and are protected in the footwells by a set of genuine Mercedes mats. The rear seats are in equally fine order and the vast boot area is also very tidy.
ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION
The 3. 6-litre M104 straight six starts first turn of the key and idles up to temperature without fuss. It’s paired with a four-speed automatic transmission that’s still very smooth on test, handling the engine’s power perfectly through the gears. On arrival from Japan earlier this year the car was treated to a full service and general shakedown in preparation for sale, the invoice for this work alone totalling in excess of £3, 900. The car further benefits from a new air mass sensor, alternator, catalytic converter, and advisory-free MOT valid until October 2022.
WHEELS, TYRES AND BRAKES
The G36 sits on 16-inch AMG alloy wheels with a very smart two-tone paint finish and absolutely no curb marking to speak of; they are shod in Toyo Proxes tyres all round, each one with ample tread remaining. The brakes have also been checked and remain in fine operational condition having received new pads and shoes less than 100 miles ago.
HISTORY FILE
This rare example was supplied new to its first keeper in Japan in January 1997. Originally leaving Germany as a 320 GE, the car was later converted to a G36 by AMG in Japan, as shown by the additional AMG VIN plate in the door shut. While German-made AMGs could be imported directly into Japan, AMG also had their own facility in Japan where stock Mercedes vehicles could be modified under license of AMG.
After landing in the UK earlier this year with all taxes paid on arrival, this LHD example was fully inspected and re-commissioned as necessary. The current owner has now spent in excess of £6, 000 mechanically preparing the car for sale, as documented in the accompanying paperwork. Recent work includes a full engine service, gearbox service, brake overhaul, a new air mass sensor, cat, alternator, battery, etc. Since arriving with us the car has been inspected once again and boasts a clean bill of health.
Inside the History File there is a leather AMG document wallet with all owner handbooks, a raft of Japanese maintenance documents, UK invoices totalling £6, 098. 51, and a fresh inspection report from our trusted classic car specialists. UK registration is currently underway.
