E55 Model Car

I have been unable to find an E55 model car for my office. It seems like models are available for everything but the E55. Anyone have any clue where I can get one?

Thanks.

One does exist, I have seen a silver 2003 E55 model car with pano roof. I don't know who produces it but I wish I had bought it then. It wasn't very large such as a 1:18, I think it was 1:43 scale and only the front doors(not the rear), the hood and trunk open.

What you all are looking for is the Yat Ming series. They have the E55 in both 1/43 and 1/72 scale models. As far as I know, it's the only die cast manufacturer that has done the E55.

The 1/43 scale comes in Silver or Blue. Model number is Yat Ming 94246.
The 1/72 scale comes in Silver, Black, and Blue. Model number is Yat Ming 72218.

Sadly, never seen a E55 in plastic. If you looking to build, just pick up any W211 plastic model kit and mod it.

Toadster, the problem is, all your listings are for non-AMG W211s.

Bumping this - would love to find a plastic model or a metal-body model you have to assemble for a W211 E55 AMG!

Try looking Revell & Maisto for models to assemble yourself.

For pre-assembled, look for Maisto, AutoArt, Kyosho, GMP, UT Models, Burago, Lane, Road Champs, etc.

I still doubt you will find anything. It kills me that quality model makers like AutoArt will make an '04 S500, but not an E55. At least they make a C63.

Never was able to find one, only thing was this, but it's extremely small, but good side is it's identical to my vehicle, down to the pano! I got the model a few years before I got the actual car..
