The Appeal
Silken rides, a spacious cavern, a V8 under the bonnet - some formulas are just born for success, and it's undeniable that the Coupé Luxusklasse continues to be one of Mercedes-Benz' most consistent fortunes. Indeed, of all three CL-classes manufactured, it's hard to argue that the third - the C216 - is amongst the best evolved, and in still full of enough ritzy tech that they're still very relevant today.
This fabulous 2008 car has been through only five former keepers, and is true-to-factory from rooftop to tyres. We understand it to be a fine, eminently drivable car, and it comes complete with plenty of time on its MOT - running until September 2025 - and an impressive paperwork file.
