This 1996 Mercedes-Benz E60 AMG was originally ordered from the Stuttgart branch and has been a part of the seller's collection in the UAE for the last few years.

The MB Market Insights​

MKB Motoren Manufaktur is as authentic to AMG as it gets. Founded by original AMG member, Erhard Melcher, MKB provides the experience and expertise for building and maintaining the most desired and rare AMG's of old. Occasionally, MKB offers up vehicles from clients and collectors. Today, it's this authentic, early model W210 E60. AMG has made a name on big displacement, rear wheel drive sedans that are capable of keeping up with the quickest of sports cars on the road. In 1996, this E60 AMG was the top of the food chain and was the successor of the legendary AMG Hammer. The tried and true formula of a 6.0 V8 in the E-class will forever be a legend in the automotive world. This example began as an E50 which was standard for the 6.0 conversions by AMG. We especially love the extra euro-only options such as electric folding mirrors and heated rear seats. No matter how you cut it, trying to build your own E60 would cost far more than buying the real deal which, in our humble opinion, makes this a bargain buy for any Benz enthusiast. Sporting an AMG 6.0 stamped engine block, this is the pinnacle of AMG offering performance and German muscle, without sacrificing comfort or reliability.

do you know if all W210 E60 models were narrow body from the factory and the wide body were all converted after? your red RS was like this

My understanding is yes, all were narrowbody from the factory. I've only seen 210 widebody from RENNtech. Not sure if any other tuner made widebody 210's?

 

[WDB748372]

Some Japan cars also had fender/quarter work. I believe it was Auto Project D, remember reading it somewhere and one widebody E60T had a plate cover from them.

I think this car is/was alyehli's car? I've saved some photos of it Jan 2024 with 135kkm asking $60,000. Curious what one of these this will go for. The previous/only two W210 E60 AMGs from Canada were bit of a failure.

Looks presentable in a neat/subtle color. BBS/AMG 2-piece rims would be a nice touch. Need underbody photos for sure.

I wish I could afford this

No sale. Top 5 bidders below. Minimal, very late participation by the seller didn't help... ditto for zero records.

market is market but so is location... is it the W210 in general? i've bid a few the past few years, only preface and i've been firm on what i want to pay

 

[ArauzMotoring]

At 36000 I’d say it’s a good buy.

Wonder what the current seller got it for?

Interesting Bid History list. Since it holds the owner of the 5-auto SL72 AMG.

I think a number of factors: Beyond the market being slow, not as much demand for the W210 E60 alongside, essentially zero documentation over the past 29 years, overseas location, missing videos/underbody photos and no real attempt to address the question requesting it. Really any photo is better than nothing at all.

It also doesn't help that there is imo a more desirable wagon that overlapped this auction. Curious if that will sell or how much it will go for.

What's the overlapping wagon? I may have missed it...

 

[WDB748372]

What's the overlapping wagon? I may have missed it...

I was referring to the Lorsinser wagon that was also listed before the this E60 sedan ended. At least if I was in the market for one I would've shifted gears and not bid as much on the sedan.

FOR SALE - 1997 E62 Lorinser Wagon, Silver/Black/Blue, 161kkm, MBM auction (Aalen, Germany) | Off-Topic Discussions

This is super cool. 6076 cc engine should be 101mm bore with the "standard" 94.8mm crankshaft from the usual 6.0L. Basically, Lorinser punched the block out 1mm larger vs a normal AMG 6L M119. The 550 lb-ft torque claim is incorrect though, these engines typically made ~450 torques. The yellow...
