The Appeal

For those with a taste for performance but prefer your cars to fly under the radar, the Mercedes-Benz CL600 is exactly what you've been looking for. Effortlessly fast and supremely comfortable, it's the ultimate everyday executive coupé, with understated styling providing the perfect contrast to its potent biturbo V12 engine.

This example, in sleek black paintwork, offers a unique opportunity: a chance to restore a rare beast to its former glory. Having spent some time in storage, it shall be a rewarding recommissioning project for the next lucky owner.
