We've loved these when they came out, and nearly two decades on, we rate them even more highly. In today's market, dominated by SUVs and 'crossovers', a good old fashioned grand touring coupé with a big V8 in the nose is rather refreshing. Count us in.
This 2007 C216 CL500 benefits from copious recent maintenance and is ready to hit the road. What a great car this would be for traversing Continental Europe! With a new fuel tank recently installed along with a fresh set of tyres, it's ready to go.
The vehicle comes with a full MB COMAND system and leather upholstery, enhancing the driving experience. Despite being stored outdoors, it presents well with no corrosion on the body panels and only minor imperfections in the brightwork. With an MOT valid until March 2025, this car is ready to be enjoyed by its next owner.
