Noticed that commenting is still not working as anonymous. The issue is when browsing in the iphone safari browser 😡

Aha, I had this problem before, trying to use the same platform, I just commented on the forum instead, maybe should have tried a different method.😟.

An enjoyable read! 😀

Here's a pic from my old 2001 E55 AMG in @Albert-AMG 's honor. (I loved that car, owned it for 11 years before selling in 2012.)

Thanks! 😀

So you owned the E 55 AMG (W 210). What a great car! 👍 My 1999 C 55 AMG (W 202) has the same 5.500cc V8 engine, and it’s a fantastic engine! 🥰

Yup a W210 E55, the car was solid as tank and fast on its feet. 😁 I can only imagine the W202 C55, that's a pretty rare car. It was never imported to the US and there are not that many in Europe. You're lucky to have one. 👍

Yes, you can imagine how fast is the C 55 being 140 kg lighter than your E 55, which was already really fast! 🙄


And yes, I’m very lucky 😀: the C 55 AMG (W 202) was from the “AMG Specials” range (not from the standard Mercedes-Benz range), only made by special order to AMG. It was quite more expensive than the standard C 43 AMG, and only 59 were made (30 LHD, and 29 RHD), so it is very rare! One -or maybe two- of the 59 was the FIA F1 Medical Car at that time.

I'm big fan of fast estate cars - HSV Clubsport/E55/E63/RS6.

Me too! I also love the current AMG C 63 S Estate and C 43 Estate (W 205)!

From the 59 ever made C 55 AMG (W 202), 7 were Estate versions, and 1 or 2 of them were FIA F1 Medical Cars
