THE HISTORY AND PAPERWORK 

  •  Great mechanical portfolio 
  •  Past MOT certificates 
  •  Low ownership 
Registered by Mercedes Benz of Winchester on the 27th January 2001, the car spent thirteen years in the county of Hampshire before making its way to South Devon in 2014 where it currently resides garaged as part of collection. Records of all and any maintenance with Mercedes since 2003 are electronically registered but a print off has been provided and pictured.

Additional invoices for work carried out in the car's current ownership are included on top of current and past MOT certificates. Evidently, the mechanics of this CL600 have been regularly and comprehensively cared for.

THE INTERIOR 

  •  Flawless interior 
  • Unblemished leather 
  • Spotless suede headlining 
    
Inside the CL it’s business as usual from Mercedes. The German Manufacture have been setting the example for high end motors since the dawn of time and in this CL600 the experience is no different. Ventilated leather seats with 14-way adjustment, suede headlining with roof speakers and electric sunroof and Bose premium audio ensures both driver and passenger of this ultimate grand tourer are kept entertained as the highest standard during their trip.

The digital instrument panel is a very nice addition, an option some modern cars are still yet to inherit. In conclusion, the interior is almost like it's a few months old, not over twenty. Very, very impressive.

THE EXTERIOR 

  •  Sublime condition 
  •  Unscathed alloy wheels 
  •  All trims and badges present 
The condition of the exterior is fabulous, to our eyes the car is free from dent or scratch, a real testament to its ownership. The deep beige metallic is a suiting colour and a welcome difference from the usual black or silver CL’s who most commonly see. In our opinion the best view of the car is at the rear, which we expect will be the most viewed thanks to that incredible V12!

The subtle twin exhausts sit almost bashfully under the rear bumper and familiar C-Class lights, the car is the ultimate sleeper. Typically German, no overdramatics or fuss, designed to just do everything it should, efficiently, reliably and better than anyone else.

THE MECHANICS 

  •  Great service record 
  •  Runs and drives without issue 
  • No compromise maintenance 
During our visit the car was maunourved out of the heated unit without issue or fuss, no doubt thanks to the regular maintenance and comprehensive care it has had, especially since coming into the ownership of its current keeper, a Mercedes Benz collector and enthusiast. In this current ownership the car has had numerous works carried out all by Mercedes Benz themselves.

The MOT is current until Sept 2022 and while we're on the subject of MOT's - bidders will note 2 advisories for corrosion on the current MOT.
This is due to the paint coming off the jacking points and some surface corrosion developing - the vendor has confirmed to us that this has since been rectified. 

Items such as the air conditioning system and coolant system have been replaced with a general service and oil change also carried out. Very little mileage has been carried out in the car since being purchased in 2017 and yet the car has been maintained with complete care and dedication.
