Notable as the first AMG model to be manufactured (rather than completed) at the famous tuner's Affalterbach facility, the C43 was also the first C-Class to be powered by Mercedes-Benz's mighty M113 engine. Developing a quoted 306bhp / 302lbft of torque, the naturally aspirated V8 was allied to five-speed automatic transmission. Reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 5. 7 seconds and an electronically limited 155mph, the C43 AMG was only in production from 1997-2000 by which time some 4, 200 had been sold worldwide.
With just a mere 450 cars believed to have been supplied to the UK market as right-hand drive examples, this Estate iteration is a rare sight. Presenting in Brilliant Silver with a Black leather interior and the aforementioned automatic transmission 'W234 WNH' has covered just 72, 800 miles from new and shows just 1 former keeper on HPI. Offered with an extensive service history, with the last 'Service A' being completed at 72, 085 miles in 2019 the AMG has an MOT that runs up to 8th June 2023.
