A handsome example of the powerful Affalterbach-tuned compact saloon, finished in a timeless all-black colour scheme. It is powered by a 5.4-litre naturally aspirated V8, delivering 362bhp and 376lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels via a five-speed automatic transmission with steering wheel-mounted shift buttons. The odometer displays 132,583 kilometres from new. This Mercedes-Benz C55 AMG features a generous factory specification and has been fitted with aftermarket lowering springs and wheel spacers for a more aggressive stance. This W203-generation C55 is finished in Obsidian Black over a black semi-aniline Nappa leather-trimmed interior punctuated by white contrast stitching and aluminium-effect inlays. It rides on a set of 18-inch twin five-spoke AMG alloy wheels, shod with Continental tyres. Factory-fitted equipment includes heated and electrically adjustable front seats with three-position memory, an electric glass sunroof, cruise control with speed limiter, a multifunction steering wheel, COMAND infotainment system with satellite navigation, dual-zone climate control, electrically folding door mirrors, and front and rear parking assistance. The car has been modified with H&R lowering springs and wheel spacers. Included in the sale is the original owner’s manual and book pack, a handful of service invoices, a spare wheel, a toolkit, and two keys.

The Obsidian Black paintwork presents with a deep shine and is in very good overall condition, save for a few minor use-related stone chips, some slight lacquer peel on the bonnet, and a small chip on the driver’s-side wheel arch. The vendor also reports a few minor scratches on the bodywork. No obvious imperfections are visible on the refurbished alloy wheels, and more than 8mm of tread is reported to remain across all four tyres, which were fitted in 2021. Moving inside, the black leather-trimmed cabin is in very good order, with only some minor creasing on the seats. There are no known electrical or mechanical faults, and there are no warning lights showing on the dashboard. The car’s last roadworthiness test was conducted on 6 April 2022 and is said to have resulted in a clean pass. This C55 was last serviced in March 2022 at 132,550 kilometres, when German car specialist G-Spec replaced the engine oil, oil filter, and brake fluid. Automotive Werks carried out an engine oil change in February 2021 at 125,567 kilometres, which also included replacing the air and pollen filters, and an engine oil and brake fluid change in April 2019 at 112,964 kilometres. G-Spec have also replaced the front control arm bushes, and a new windscreen was fitted by a Mercedes-Benz main dealer. Within the last year, the wheels have been refurbished and the car has been fitted with new brake pads and discs, as well as a new headlight ballast and globe.

Having covered a relatively modest 132,583 kilometres from new and fresh from a recent oil service, this C55 AMG would make a comfortable and rapid daily driver, as well as an entertaining country-road plaything.
