1997 E60 AMG, Silver/Black/White, 99kkm, BaT auction (Ontario, Canada)

No affiliation. Sadly don't have production figures for these. I see a few RENNtech E60 on BaT but curious to see what an E60 AMG will go for. Interesting note that the sale does not include a title. I'm not familiar with Japanese cars/registration.

Japanese-Market 1997 Mercedes-Benz E60 AMG

Moderator edit: This car is German-market that was exported to Japan, before coming to Canada.


This 1997 Mercedes-Benz E60 AMG is a Japanese-market sedan that was acquired by the seller in 2023 and subsequently imported to Canada. The car left the factory as an E50, and it was subsequently equipped with an AMG 6.0-liter M119 V8, widened fenders, and E60 trim. Finished in silver over black and white Exclusive leather upholstery, the car has a five-speed automatic transmission, AMG bumper covers and side skirts, multi-piece 19″ AMG alloy wheels, wheel spacers, xenon headlights, later-style side mirror and taillights, heated front and rear seats, wood veneer interior trim, and a Pioneer CD stereo. This W210 E60 AMG has 99k kilometers (~62k miles) and is now offered in Canada with a CarVX report, and an Ontario registration.

The car was finished from the factory in Brilliant Silver Metallic (744) and widened front and rear fenders were subsequently added along with E60 AMG badging. Post-facelift taillights and side mirrors with integrated turn signals have been installed, and additional exterior details consist of xenon headlights with washers as well as AMG bumper covers and side skirts, Avantgarde front fender badging, tinted rear windows, AMG-branded twin exhaust outlets. There is chipping clear coat on the front bumper cover and left mirror cap, there is overspray on the rear window seal, and additional photos of exterior imperfections are provided in the gallery below.

Retrofitted multi-piece 19″ AMG wheels are mounted with 235/35 front and 275/30 rear Bridgestone Potenza S001 tires. Wheel spacers have been installed, and the car is equipped with a sport suspension and Bilstein dampers at all four corners. The car is equipped with the Electronic Stability Program (ESP), Automatic Slip Control (ASR), and four-wheel disc brakes.
Moderator edit: A car cannot have both ESP and ASR. This E60 has ESP which is a more advanced system than ASR.

The heated front bucket seats and outboard rear seats are upholstered in black Exclusive AMG leather with white inserts, while burl wood trim accents the dashboard, center console, and door panels. Additional appointments include power-adjustable front seats with position memory as well as AMG-branded floor mats, an AMG-branded center console trim panel, cruise control, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a Pioneer CD stereo. Cracks are present in the interior wood trim, and the wood trim pieces on the right-front and left-rear doors are missing.

The black and white leather-trimmed steering wheel frames a 300-km/h AMG-branded speedometer, a tachometer, and a combination gauge for coolant temperature and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 99k kilometers (~62k miles).

The 6.0-liter M119 V8 sends power to the rear wheels through a five-speed automatic transmission. Photos of engine stampings are presented in the gallery.

Aftermarket center exhaust resonators have been installed. Additional photos of the underside are provided in the gallery.

No Carfax report is available for this vehicle as no entries have been generated.

The vehicle is being sold on its Ontario registration, which serves as the ownership document in Ontario, Canada. The sale does not include a title.

Interesting note that the sale does not include a title. I'm not familiar with Japanese cars/registration.

That is because Canada doesn't have "titles" like the US does. Your province registration acts as your ownership document. If you buy a Canadian car to bring to the US, you take that registration and they convert it to a US title.

I’ve always loved the black/white(silver) leather combo on these.

Odd that the wood on this one is in such poor shape. The damage makes me think the interior was in a really humid environment for some time.

I’ve always loved the black/white(silver) leather combo on these.

They go well with most if not all exterior colors. The condition of these also seemed to have kept up well.

I found a few more photos of this car on my computer amongst other E60s I've come across so far.

Put the right wheels on it, send all the wood to Madera Concepts for refurbishment, and while all that's going on the seller will have ample time to inquire with AMG Classic archives about a conversion record/homologation paperwork....

atleast that is what I would do if I were gonna offer this car again....very cool nonetheless...

Bid to $30k at BaHaT, no sale. Now listed on MBM with, I believe, the exact same photos. And, the seller still thinks the car was originally delivered to Japan, although that's hurting the sale more than helping.

The MB Market Insights​

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 1997, this E60 AMG was the top of the food chain and in many ways, was the successor of the 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. The especially love the extra euro-only options such as electric folding mirrors and heated rear seats. Of course, the widebody is perhaps the coolest aesthetic feature making the already stately W210 even more robost. The stance has been dialed in with 2-piece AMG wheels although we wouldn't mind seeing a set of 2-piece 18" monoblocks from the SL600 fitted for posterity. No matter how you cut it, trying to build your own widebody E60 would cost far more than buying the real deal which, in our humble opinion, makes this a bargain buy for any Benz enthusiast. It's the perfect amount of flare (no pun intended) and muscle, without sacrificing comfort or reliability. ​
