Vehicle Description
AMG was founded as a racing engine forge in 1967 by former
Mercedes-Benz engineers; the letters 'AMG' taken from their names;
Aufecht, Melcher and Gro�aspach. In 1990, with AMG having become a
high-profile purveyor of modified Mercedes-Benz cars, Daimler-Benz
AG and AMG signed a contract of co-operation allowing AMG to
leverage Daimler-Benz's extensive dealer network and leading to
commonly developed vehicles (the first one being the Mercedes-Benz
C36 AMG, in 1993). On 1st January 1999, Daimler-Chrysler acquired
51 percent of AMG shares and AMG was re-named to Mercedes-AMG. In
1995, the C-Class received its first genuine performance model, the
C36 AMG, to counter the new six-cylinder BMW M3. Developed with
AMG, it had racing-tuned suspension and the 3.6 litre engine had a
general output of 276bhp. The C36 AMG accelerates from 0-60mph in
5.8 seconds and top speed was limited to 155mph - an unlimited top
speed was recorded at 169mph. This well presented C36 in silver is
described as being 9 out of 10 in every respect and is a very well
maintained example with service history dating from 1999 at
26,106km. Further servicing is documented at 41,731km in 2001,
49,293km in 2003, 66,328km in 2005, 68,133km in 2006, 71,698km in
2007 and at 75,698km in 2009. The car was road tested on 28th May
2009 and laid up and dry stored thereafter and has covered 79,000km
in total. The car is supplied with its original AMG wallet with
manuals and original customer data card, two spare keys and a UK
MoT test certificate with no advisories, valid until August
2018.This interesting Mercedes-Benz is offered for sale at a very
