2000 Mercedes CL500 (C215). Pristine example FSH, 45k miles, large history file

This first-class Mercedes CL500 is a UK supplied car.  Registered in June 2000 it has covered just 45k miles in the last 21 years.  It comes with a comprehensive service history comprising 8 stamps in the service book, all bar one from Mercedes main agents.  The most recent being less than 700 miles ago. Reassuringly, it is accompanied by a comprehensive history file containing old MOT's, invoices (+27 nearly all from Mercedes), full HPI report, old tax discs and build sheet listing all options.

The bodywork and interior are in fantastic condition and are testament to the love and care lavished on this car by its previous owners.

The CL was Mercedes Benz top of the range coupe based on the contemporary S class platform.  Its subtle lines, penned by the legendary Bruno Sacco, have matured well and the CL is now a very affordable, sleek, German uber coupe.

Being an S class it incorporates all the latest tech (circa 2000), has a superbly comfortable ride and a super smooth power delivery. However, it is also refreshingly nimble for such a large car and provides a good level of driver involvement and satisfaction.  Stylish, smooth and effortless are the CL's mantra.

Fitted with Mercedes Active Body Control (ABC) system the ride is incredibly refined and relaxed. There is also the option to stiffen up the suspension with sport mode and the ability to raise the car should the need arise.

With its immaculate Brilliant Silver Metallic (744U) bodywork this particular CL has real presence.  In the cabin, the perforated Saffron leather (264A) is set off perfectly with light carpets and headlining, contrasted with dark Burred Walnut (731) veneer and a Mushroom leather dashboard and steering wheel. A refined and lovely combination.
