Meet Ruby – A Beautiful, Original Mercedes-Benz C36 AMG
Finished in stunning factory Ruby Red Metallic (Mercedes-Benz paint code 572)
Some cars are simply transport. Others have character, history and a personality all of their own. Meet Ruby.
The Mercedes-Benz C36 AMG holds a special place in motoring history as the first AMG model developed following the formal partnership between Mercedes-Benz and AMG. It also earned its place in Formula 1 history, serving as the official F1 Safety Car during the 1996 and 1997 seasons.
Powered by the magnificent 3.6-litre AMG straight-six engine, the C36 delivers effortless performance, refinement and the exceptional build quality that made Mercedes-Benz engineering of this era so special.
Ruby is a beautiful, 100% original example, finished in a stunning and distinctive Burgundy (Mercedes-Benz paint code 572), complemented by interior trim code 201.
With 288,112 kilometres from new and a full service history, she is a wonderfully preserved example of this increasingly sought-after AMG classic.
What really sets Ruby apart is her condition. The interior is genuinely immaculate, with the original leather, dashboard, carpets and trim presenting exceptionally well. The air conditioning blows ice cold, and she sits on four matching tyres, all with excellent tread remaining.

A Very Special Mercedes-Benz
What makes the C36 AMG so appealing today is its understated character. No oversized wings or exaggerated styling, just beautifully engineered Mercedes-Benz luxury combined with genuine AMG performance.
These early AMG cars represent a special chapter in Mercedes-Benz history, from an era when engineering excellence, craftsmanship and driving enjoyment took priority.
Ruby is not being presented as a low-kilometre museum piece. She is an honest, exceptionally well-preserved and original example that has clearly been cared for throughout her life.
Her beautiful Ruby Red Metallic exterior paintwork, immaculate interior and documented service history make her a particularly appealing example for someone who appreciates these increasingly uncommon performance sedans.
Ruby is a car to enjoy, preserve and be proud of.
A wonderful opportunity to own a genuine piece of AMG history.
Genuine enquiries and inspections welcome.
