The Appeal


Famously one of the last cars built by Karmann's Osnabrück plant before it was shut down, the CLK280 Convertible in many ways represents the nature of Mercedes-Benz' 21st century exploits. Capable performance, sleek styling and endlessly fashionable, the car was made available in three trims - the Elegance trim was one of the most desirable, boasting green-tinted glass, 7-spoke polished 16-inch alloy wheels, and an attractive wooden interior trim that harked back to the company's impressive heritage. 

With a comprehensive service history, recent major services, and a new MOT valid until August 2025, this CLK280 Elegance is an eminently drivable, very desirable car. It's been sparingly used, always garaged, and never exposed to harsh weather conditions. Equally suited to daily driving as it is a rather luxuriant cruise, this CLK280 is well-worth the attention it'll receive at auction.
