Description
First registered in March 1999 and owned by the original purchaser until 2017, when the Lady owners niece took over its stewardship. We have owned the car for 3 years and during that time have driven approximately 10, 000 miles. The car has never missed a beat is a smooth, comfortable, fun & powerful drive.
Since 2020 all mechanical works were carried out by a Mercedes specialist in Dorchester. Interior/ Exterior works were expertly carried out by a specialist company on Portland to bring the vehicle to its current state. The vehicle has been professionally valeted inside and out and had a ceramic polish coating applied.
This is a first generation CLK Mercedes which cleverly combined E-Class luxury and styling with the compact practicality of a C-Class vehicle.
The CLK’s demeaner is its exquisite styling with a super Mercedes driving experience – this is a very comfortable, tourer, relaxing to drive eating up the miles effortlessly. The car was purchased in early 2020 by the current owner, and has been properly restored to its current state, awaiting the next owner to finalise the vehicle to their own needs. The CLK320 here offers a smooth and warbly 3. 2 litre V6 engine producing 218bhp through its rear wheels.
The car is a 4 owner, low mileage car finished in a beautiful Azur Blue Metallic. It has a Sport trim, with various desirable options including a glass tilt & slide sunroof, with driver & passenger memory seats.
In total the current owners have spent approximately £6, 000 to return the interior to its former glory, and to ensure the mechanics are top notch, removing all major bodywork issues, to make this car a pleasure to sit in and drive.

The current owner was more concerned with making the interior and mechanics correct concentrating only on corrosive repairs to the exterior. The vehicle has done the owner proudly during the almost 3 year tenure, and is looking to pass this excellent vehicle onto its new owner to cherish and upgrade as they see fit. It is a super pleasure to drive either on country roads, A roads or motorway, sitting happily with cruise control on to eat up motorway miles.
The car is honest genuine, has never ever failed, starts first time, and gets to idle speed in a matter of minuets. It has been lovingly cared for with no expense spared. All servicing, MOT records, and invoices are available and will be passed on to the new owner to maintain its provenance. To be very very clear any new owner will love this car.
