The Appeal

The Mercedes-Benz C215 CL500 is a standout in the world of luxury grand tourers. With its sleek design, powerful 5-litre M113 V8 engine, and top-tier specifications, it quickly became highly aspirational when it hit the market in 1998, and continues to be prized today as one of the best millenium-era Mercs ever built.

This particular CL500 has been meticulously maintained, showcasing minimal wear and a solid history. Recently serviced and featuring an extensive history file, this fine example of the C215 is in excellent condition - and is sure to garner plenty of attention. With features like an AMG exhaust, BI-Xenon headlamps, and a factory tilt and slide sunroof, this CL500 is still in a highly impressive spec some twenty-four years after manufacture.
