The Appeal
Any Mercedes-Benz that aims to reset buyer expectations starts from a very high bar. The firm’s reputation for engineering and quality meant that the C215 had to be very, very good.
It was. The sleek, understated and handsome bodywork clothed a high technology, sumptuously appointed car. The 5litre M113-engined V8 was a popular choice, delivering effortless performance perfect for crossing continents in comfort.
This well specified CL500 has clearly been looked after, the interior and exterior betraying few signs of its 21 years. With good history, a recent service and suspension work, this is a great example of one of recent motoring’s best GTs.
