This rare and understated performance saloon has a huge specification, just 62k miles and is in quite exceptional condition throughout.

The E550 is an interesting car, of a type that does not seem to exist these days. Its 5.5-litre V8 develops 383bhp, propelling this car to 60mph in 5 seconds, yet it does so without any of the aggression or conspicuity of the AMG cars. It is a true ‘iron fist in a velvet glove’ car that MB traditionally did so well.

Finished in Obsidian Black with black leather, this E550 is comprehensively equipped with air suspension, AMG Sport Package, electric/heated sports seats, climate, bi-xenon headlights, Harman Kardan sound system, glass sunroof, rear power blind and much more as detailed below.

The COMAND system has been upgraded to an up-to-date Dynavin multi-media system that includes sat-nav, Bluetooth hands-free, music streaming, DAB radio, reversing camera and more.

62,538 miles from new supported by a full service history comprising of 11 entries and was last serviced in June ’21. All original books and two keys.

This E550 was supplied new in Japan and imported into the UK this year. As such it has had an easy life in a kind climate without salt and rigorous inspections. The result is a car in incredible condition.

The paintwork is immaculate and the wheels unmarked wearing matching Michelins Sport tyres with excellent tread. The interior is in excellent condition too as the pictures show. The underside, a big advantage of a Japan market car, is in incredible condition with zero corrosion.

On the road it drives beautifully; smooth, quiet and with tremendous power when required.

Note this car is Euro 4 petrol, so it complies with ULEZ and other emissions zones with nothing to pay.

Overall, an immaculate, highly specified car with low mileage and excellent history.
