One registered owner from new. Vendor states: 1997 Mercedes-Benz E36 AMG Full Description: Registered on 4th February 1997 (registration P326 YAE), this Mercedes-Benz E36 AMG is a rare performance saloon and an important model in the history of AMG. Produced in very limited numbers, the E36 AMG was built at a time when AMG was just becoming fully integrated into Mercedes-Benz, and today examples are increasingly sought after by collectors. This example is finished in Brilliant Silver with an Alpaca Grey leather interior and is powered by the 3.6-litre straight-six engine producing 280bhp, paired with automatic transmission. The car rides on AMG alloy wheels and is equipped with an electric sunroof, electric/heated/memory front seats, electric windows and mirrors, cruise control, and icecold climate control. It is supplied with two keys. The odometer currently reads just 86,500 miles, a modest figure for the model and consistent with careful single ownership. Indeed, this car was registered new to a lady keeper in 1997 and has remained in her care since. The original purchase invoice is on file, showing a total of £61,774.42, together with a supplementary invoice for additional factory supplied extras including overmats, Blaupunkt Pasadena head unit, CD changer, and Tracker system, totalling £1,421.37. Backing this exceptional provenance is an extensive service history: the service book carries 13 Mercedes-Benz dealer stamps and 1 Mercedes-Benz specialist stamp, supported by a file of detailed dealer invoices. In April 2017, a significant oil leak from the head gasket was rectified, with an itemised invoice totalling £3,119.78, underlining the level of care and investment this car has received The car is accompanied by its complete owner’s wallet with handbooks and the original data specification card. MOT is valid until 3rd June 2026. The bodywork is in very presentable condition, though showing signs of age in places, while the AMG alloy wheels remain in very good order commensurate with the car’s age. The interior is also in very good condition, and everything functions as it should: radio, climate control, and remote locking. The car also benefits from a recently replaced indicator/light stalk. On the road, it drives very well, with excellent power delivery from the AMG-tuned straight-six and a smooth automatic gearbox. Presented today as a single-registered-keeper car with documented provenance, extensive main dealer history, desirable mileage, and strong originality, this E36 AMG is an authentic and highly collectable example. Bridging the gap between the classic straight-six AMGs and the later V8-powered cars, it represents an increasingly significant era of AMG engineering Values in recent sales suggest this example could realistically achieve between £10,000 and £15,000 at auction.
