The Gentleman's Express
UK-Supplied 2003 Mercedes-Benz CL55 AMG in Obsidian Black Metallic over Exclusive Anthracite AMG hide.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire one of Mercedes-Benz’s iconic performance coupes from the early 2000s, blending the power of its supercharged V8 with the elegance and refinement the brand is renowned for.
A true wolf in sheep’s clothing, 493hp and 0-60 mph in just over 4 seconds – it’s certainly no slouch, even by today’s standards! Paired with Active Body Control (ABC) for an exceptional ride, it strikes the perfect balance between grand touring luxury and the exhilarating performance that defines AMG engineering. Importantly, its had the factory maximum speed restrictor lifted - the car can now achieve 186mph.
Combining luxury, performance, and the timeless appeal of a black-on-black Benz from this era, the CL55 AMG offers an experience that few modern cars can replicate. The pillar-less design, coupled with one of the most attractive rears in the segment - accentuated by quad exhausts and a supercharged V8 - begs the question: does it get any better?
Originally costing well over £100k when new, this CL offers tremendous value for money today. With a niche, low-supply position in the market, it’s the kind of car we love to have in our inventory - because, let’s face it, find another one!
Loaded with then-cutting-edge technology, the CL was well before its time and featured a lot of things that rarely come as standard, even on the most expensive modern cars. This example boasts a plethora of optional equipment too, including a Bose sound system, multi-contour front seats featuring massage, heating, and ventilation, Bur Walnut dash trims, electric glass sunroof, and bi-xenon headlights.
Keyless Go, electric folding mirrors, Command with satellite navigation and an installed Nokia 6310i, as well as front and rear parking sensors, double glazed windows, and heated front and rear windscreens, the list goes on and on.
Sitting on its original AMG alloy wheels, fitted with OEM-spec Goodyear tyres, this car remains true to its factory configuration.
In terms of condition, this CL is a true standout. Having covered just 61, 000 miles, it has been meticulously maintained, and the interior is virtually unblemished, with the leather seats and cabin materials showing minimal signs of wear - remarkable for a car of this age.
The previous owner, a discerning collector with a large portfolio including various special edition Mercedes-Benz models; purchased this car in 2018 after a two-year search for the right example. Every car in his collection was chosen for its specification and provenance, adding to the significance of this particular CL55 AMG.
It comes complete with its full owner’s pack, including a stamped service booklet, along with a comprehensive set of MOT certificates and invoices, evidencing its full maintenance history. It's also ULEZ compliant.
With well-preserved examples becoming increasingly rare, this is a unique opportunity to own a piece of AMG heritage.
