The Appeal

To showcase its engineering and technological abilities, Mercedes built its flagship C215. For enthusiasts of modern classic Benz, this is peak Stuttgart, a pillarless coupe that has few equals when it comes to covering huge distances in comfort.

The Almandine-Black metallic of this 2000 CL500 lends it a very classy air. It is well preserved thanks to the low mileage and few keepers. The same is true of the ultra luxurious black leather interior with its burr root walnut trim and vast array of electrical gizmos.

The vendor tells us that the car has been well-maintained, initially by main dealers to 2014. The current MOT runs to October 2026 with a couple of points to note on the test. The private plate is included.
