Finally got myself into something nice again.
Past couple years WFH and man maths wasn't even able to justify having something sitting depreciating and not getting used.

Had been solely been looking at something v6 / v8 but then this came up.
Kinda made sense at this point with the way petrol prices and tax are going to not go for the big engine option.
I know they may not be deemed a 'proper' AMG by many but it still has had the AMG treatment, handbuilt engine and feels special enough to drive. It's never going to have the engine note of a v8 with half the cylindars but it's certainly not slow and the performance exhaust amuses the inner child lol
Silver wouldn't have been my first choice of colour but think it looks pretty fresh for this car.

Was well spec'd from factory with about £6500 of options.

Wheels were a bit corroded and letting the appearance down so worked in a refurb as part of the deal.
Silver, grey or black where the options as they were unsure if the diamond cut wheels had been cut previously already, so re-doing might not have been an option.
Opted for black to tie in with the other black bits, think it worked out better anyways.

Smart as. 355 isn't to be sniffed at from a 2.0l either.

HTD!

Looks great, near had a red one bought back in 2017 with the aero kit etc. had it for a weekend and was great fun but gearbox stories put me off it.

Health to drive

Ironic the health to drive saying... Picked it up on Thursday and tested positive on Friday 🙈 So not much driving done so far lol

Yeah @Lappintyre was nervous on the wheel colour too and had to make a quick decision for them to do it as part of the deal. I'm not the biggest fan of black wheels generally, figured it's not the hardest thing to change at some point again anyways if I really hated them.

I know the previous owner of this car, usually don’t like black wheels but they work on this.

Great sounding car
