The Appeal
The CLK Class is dedicated to high-octane luxury in a compact package, and the A209 was no exception - but it goes down a distinctly more fanciful route than many of its rivals. The styling is sleek and subtle, with curves in all the right places, even if it doesn't quite lend a sports persona at first glance.
The car, though, defied that elegant appearance, with a big V6 powerplant that offered an impressive 268bhp in this particular model - and a 0-to-60 of only 6 seconds. Factor in the AMG kit and you've got a genuinely remarkable sports car in a remarkably elegant, handsomely styled format.
This particular car was ordered by an outgoing Mercedes-Benz manager from Harrogate, and is the only example of its specification in the UK. A handsome list of options and impressive livery really completes this fabulous vehicle's profile, and with a low mileage and comprehensive service history, we've no doubt it'll attract plenty of interest.
