2014 Mercedes GLA 45 AMG Edition 1
***NO RESERVE***

Registration - TBC

Chassis No. - TBC

M.O.T. - 12 Months

Odometer - 8,000

This 2014 example of the archetypal “hot crossover” has been imported from Australia and is yet to be registered in the UK. A Nova certificate is, however, on hand making registration a straightforward paperwork exercise. Noted for sharing its 355bhp four cylinder turbocharged engine with the A45 AMG. Whilst power is fed to the front wheels in normal uses, up to 50% can be instantly vectored to the rear wheels when traction becomes compromised courtesy of the latest 4Matic system. What’s more, this is an Edition 1 available for just one year from market launch and includes a high-gloss black Aerodynamics package with larger front splitter. Being offered with NO RESERVE, this represents a rare and enticing opportunity to acquire the range topping, incredibly powerful Mercedes-Benz GLA at a highly competitive price.

Presented in bright Cirrus White this example features part of a silver and black adhesive decal set. Other eye catching exterior attributes include the big, rooftop spoiler, optional 20-inch AMG 10 spoke light alloy wheels and optional red painted, AMG inscribed brake callipers. Anodised black roof rails and a panoramic glass roof are also noted. The exterior condition is vendor-rated as good, likely due to the decal situation and some missing trim pieces which may be amongst the spare parts photographed. The cabin exhibits a modern and overtly sporting ambiance. Black leather faces the special AMG performance seats and a chunky Alcantara and leather, multifunction steering wheel is present. Underneath all that, however, is the same highly practical mini SUV interior enjoyed by every GLA making this a highly practical proposition, if a very fast one.

Speaking of which, Mercedes-Benz quote a sub five second 0-60mph time for the GLA 45 AMG and its top speed is limited at 155 mph. The turbocharged four cylinder petrol engine is mated to a seven speed, dual clutch automatic transmission and that intelligent 4Matic system ensures all that power can be readily deployed. A number of spare parts and, reportedly, some paperwork are included with this high-performance crossover.

In summary:

· A rarer Edition 1 launch model with extra aerodynamic goodies

· A high performance, high specification AMG Mercedes

· Complete with Nova certificate and ready to be UK registered
