The Appeal
The original CLK is one of the best looking ranges of coupes and convertibles of the last 30 years. Prettier than the E36 and with those neat Stuttgart touches buyers value, these cars make excellent long distance tourers.
The 225bhp 3.2L V6 adds decent performance heft to the package. Good convertibles like this CLK320 are becoming very rare, particularly with the low mileage of this car. Finished in the popular combination of Tanzanite Blue metallic over Elegance specification cabin, it is an elevated Elegance model with extensive factory specification include electric seats, walnut veneers and a draft deflector.
Recent work has included annual servicing since the buyer acquired the car in 2023. The roof cables have also been replaced, there is a new battery and a set of fresh Kumho boots fitted all round less than 2,000 miles ago. The vendor tells us that the car is dry stored on a trickle charger when not in use.
The car comes to market with MOT to March 2026. There are a few minor advisories showing that the vendor advises have been rectified, with the exception of brake hoses.
Very presentable, highly specified and with that rumbly V6, this handsome four-seat convertible feels like a proper treat.
The vendor says:
“Very relaxed to drive, with plenty of power from the engine when needed, but prefers to cruise and to waft, its no sports car and doesn't handle like one, but there's nothing better when the sun is out than to have to roof down and just leisurely cruise around and let everyone else carry on with life at their speed.”
