The Appeal

The W203 AMG cars were built to challenge the E46 from BMW, and while they may not have gained the same market reception, they do manage to be fast on their feet with minimal fuss - a naturally understated, capable car that could hit high speeds while remaining sophisticated, non-plussed and loaded with executive comfort.
Of course, there's one rule we always enforce at Car & Classic - always get the estate car. They're simply cooler in every way, and this one is no exception. Handsome lines, versatile space at the back and a supercharged V6 under the bonnet? It's ticking all the boxes, and for our money has a long future ahead of it as a modern classic.
Only 100 of these are believed to have been built for the UK market - it was a European exclusive, and only 1,556 were built overall. As a result there's a certain flavour of exotica in this fine car, and it'll be supplied with a comprehensive history and 12-month MOT. Not to be missed!
