This Mercedes-Benz-Benz C36 AMG is a handsome example of the lesser-seen modern classic performance saloon, which has been enjoyed as intended. Under the bonnet sits a hand-assembled 3.6-litre inline-six, producing around 206kW and sending it to the rear wheels via a five-speed automatic transmission. This Australian-market C36 AMG is noted to have had three owners from new, and has been with its current for one year. This example is noted to have been used very sparingly in the past 10 years, and as such would benefit from a service and inspection prior to use on road. The odometer reads 226,125 kilometres from new. The C36 was the starting point of the Mercedes-Benz and AMG partnership to produce performance variants of the marque’s road cars. The C36 was widely recognised when new due to its time spent as the safety car for the 1996 and 1997 Formula 1 seasons. This example is finished in the stylish hue of Green Black metallic over a plush Black and Anthracite leather-trimmed interior, with a grey steering wheel bottom, and carbon fibre-effect inlays on the door cards and centre console. It rides on a set of 17-inch AMG Monoblock alloy wheels, which are fitted with Pirelli and Kapsen tyres. Interior features include electrically adjustable front seats, front and rear electric windows, climate control, cruise control, heat insulating glass, a heated rear screen, and a Mercedes-Benz single-DIN audio system with radio, cassette, and CD player. The car will be accompanied by the maintenance booklet, audio system manual, road care guide, owner’s manual, C36 AMG additional instructions, and the workshop directory. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: the paintwork is excellent save some minor fading on some trim, and a few chips on the carbon-effect pillar pieces. Inside, there is a small cigarette burn in the driver’s seat, and minor stitching loose near the rear parcel shelf. The seller notes that the electric antenna fuse has been removed, which was believed to be because it does not retract, and that the air conditioning system has minor leak. The car’s last inspection of roadworthiness was conducted in March 2023, during which the seller reports that no warnings or advisory items were noted. This C63 AMG’s most recent routine maintenance was carried out in May 2013 at 210,258 km by KILPA Mercedes-Benz Moorabbin. The work comprised of an engine oil and filter change service. Prior to this, the car was serviced in January 2011 and July 2009, both of which were routine engine oil and filter replacement services. The seller notes that the spark plugs, brake fluid, transmission wiring loom, and the neutral safety switch were all replaced during ownership. This Mercedes-Benz C36 AMG is a rare modern classic in a handsome Green Black metallic hue, boasting a potent and smooth inline-six engine, and a smooth automatic gearbox. While it would benefit from a service given the time elapsed since its last, this example remains highly original, and will no doubt appeal to keen drivers and collectors alike.
