The Appeal
For traversing continents at pace, in style and in supreme comfort, an S55 AMG is always a safe bet. The S Class has long been Mercedes-Benz’s most advanced luxury saloon and entrusting a version to AMG was a masterstroke.
This 2002 W220 example is in fine order with just 84,371 miles under its belt. The vendor assures us that it benefits from full service history, and the new owner has the added reassurance of an advisory-free MOT valid until 13th May 2025.
Superbly presented throughout and reportedly driving very well indeed, this rapid luxobarge would be a fine addition to any driveway.
