EXTERIOR
As one of only a handful of W210 E60s produced, this rare and magnificent example benefits from the even rarer wide body option. The flared arch upgrade was carried out under the supervision AMG Japan, and as such was only available for Japanese-supplied cars.

The condition of this particular E60 is outstanding; the Brilliant Silver paintwork retains a near-pristine finish, with all items of trim in excellent fettle. Better still, both the body and underside are without even a hint of corrosion, undeniably the result of Japan's salt-free roads.

INTERIOR
The opulent interior is adorned with exclusive Anthracite AMG leather and black Birdseye Maplewood trim. With such low mileage it's no surprise that the supple upholstery presents with a flawless finish, having never been allowed to dry out or require connolisation. On closer inspection the plentiful Maplewood trim retains a glass-like finish throughout, with absolutely no cracking to the steering wheel, door panels, or fascia trim.

In the rear the passengers are treated like royalty with heated seats and plenty of legroom to relax and enjoy their journey. Upfront the driver has everything they need to pilot this 6-litre super saloon. All the switchgear seems to operate just as it should and the only non-original item to be found is an Alpine CD player. This is present with a discreetly located auxiliary cable and CD changer mounted in the boot.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The E60 is equipped with AMG's hand built 6-litre M119 V8. The engine started off life as a 5-litre; the bottom end was bored to 100mm, fitted with custom lightweight pistons, and a modified crankshaft that took the stroke to 94. 8mm. The heads and inlet manifold were ported and polished, then fitted with AMG camshafts. A modified airbox and an ECU remap took the power to 375hp and torque to 580 NM.

This example has always been maintained by Mercedes at close mileage intervals, which is evident from its excellent performance on test. Under the bonnet everything appears wonderfully clean and just as it should, with the engine block bearing the correct ‘119' and ‘AMG60' stamps.

HISTORY FILE
The Mercedes was first registered in December 1996 and was supplied new by Yanase Mercedes-Benz in Japan. It originally left the Affalterbach factory in Germany as an E50 AMG before being shipped to AMG Japan, where it was officially converted to an E60. This was common practice for limited number special order AMG variants such as these, and production of the E60 was very limited indeed. A specialist company called Auto Project-D was then contracted by AMG Japan to carry out the wide body upgrade.

In 2015 the car was imported into the UK by a classic AMG enthusiast and collector who has owned the car ever since. Having resided on the salt-free roads of Japan up until that point, the E60's underside has remained impeccably clean and corrosion-free (photos are available upon request).

A large collection of main dealer invoices present with the vehicle details the meticulous maintenance carried out in Japan, and further verifies the E60's low mileage. The documentation also indicates a low number of keepers before its arrival in the UK. The paperwork is complete with the original Mercedes document pack, all handbooks in both Japanese and German, and a Certificate of Conformity from Mercedes-Benz.

The E60 has now covered 68, 347km, which equates to just 42, 469 miles. The recorded service history is as follows:

27, 794km / 17, 270 miles
30, 082km / 18, 692 miles
34, 449km / 21, 406 miles
39, 800km / 24, 731 miles
53, 005km / 32, 936 miles
55, 988km / 34, 789 miles
65, 152km / 40, 484 miles
