Originally a Mercedes-Benz demo car with very high specification
One of the last naturally aspirated AMG V8s produced
Service book containing 11 Mercedes dealer stamps plus independent specialist stamps
Major service completed in March 2026 using genuine Mercedes parts
MOT valid until March 2027 with no advisories
The Appeal
The W219 is a car that commands respect among AMG aficionados. Powered by the hand-built 6.2-litre M156 naturally aspirated V8 - the last of its kind before AMG's shift to forced induction - it's visceral, sporty and rugged - and still offers performance that the car's turbocharged successors struggle to replicate.
This particular example began life as a Mercedes-Benz demonstrator and was thus specified to a very high level. Its subsequent custodians have included a Mercedes master technician and a collector in West Yorkshire who covered fewer than 3,500 miles during his tenure. A full folder of receipts documents expenditure on items including engine mounts, a gearbox service and brakes.image.png1.34 MB
