The Appeal
The C215 proved that the 21st century still had Mercedes-Benz at the top of the game, with luxurious touring comforts and supercar performance creating a beguiling - and incredibly handsome - prospect for the well-to-do driver. Now, it's a definitive modern classic, and one that enthusiasts are rapidly beginning to clamour for.
This 2003 example benefits from the AMG styling package, enhancing its already imposing presence. Having spent most of its life in the dry climes of Palm Springs and Phoenix before being imported to the Netherlands (with all duties paid), this is a dry-state, solid and nicely presented CL-55 that's ready and waiting for its lucky new owner.
