Highlights

- Recently serviced by an independent specialist approximately 200 miles ago
- Driving well and reportedly in full working order
- Substantial history file containing a collection of old invoices and MOT certificates

The Appeal
Cleverly offering a more spacious interior and more compact exterior than its predecessor, the W220 proved eminently worthy of the flagship S-Class moniker. In typical Mercedes-Benz fashion, it was offered with a vast range of engines and we’re excited to present this 2001 S55 AMG which features the M113 5.4-litre V8.
Presented in very good condition for its age, this Mercedes is reportedly in full working order and driving well. The vendor states that it was serviced approximately 200 miles ago and so is in rude health mechanically. If you’re looking for a subtle executive saloon that packs a punch, this S-Class is certainly worthy of your consideration.
