• Garage kept
• 6.3L AMG engine

The Appeal

The S-Class continues to evoke feelings of true, 'big money' luxury - one of the highest specified cars in the world, and certainly one of the most luxurious. They're a car of undeniably elegant excess, so creating a sporty high-octane beauty off of the back of it is sure to raise eyebrows.
The big AMG V8 offers a fine turn of speed: 0-to-60mph in 4.5 seconds, a top speed of 155mph, and thanks to the sports-tuned suspension, it's a remarkably agile car for its size - after all, it's substantially larger than its predecessor in almost every dimension. As a result, there's little doubt that the S 63 has a future as an essential classic.
This fine, well-cared-for example comes to us with a low mileage, plenty of time left on its MOT and a history of regular maintenance.
