1997 | Mercedes-Benz CL 500

Description

The Mercedes C140 is a special car. When it was presented, it was already described as the best car in the world and was unfortunately misunderstood for a long time, especially in Germany. The size and appearance were massive, the appearance self-confident. Something like that easily produces envy. It wasn't a problem overseas, he was respected and admired there.

The chassis of the 140 series was still used for the upcoming Maybach series after it was discontinued. The driving experience in a C140 is also unique and cannot be compared to any other Mercedes.........

It is a vehicle from the last series with all model maintenance measures. He already has the more modern 5-speed gearbox, the modernized automatic climate control, the improved wiring harnesses and much more. The very last CLs were the most reliable and are also the most desirable today. Unfortunately, many are exported or used up, so that really good specimens are now very rare. We have one of those here, it's second-hand. (Both owners were collectors who maintained the vehicle appropriately.)

This Mercedes CL Coupe is accident-free, without any damage or complaints, it has just been polished by our detailer and received a Swissoyl seal. The paint is a special color and in combination with the dark blue leather suits the car perfectly. The car has recently had extensive maintenance, a list of the work is given below, for which more than 32,000 euros have been invested. It can now be equated with a year-old car and is fit again for the next owner.

If you want to call the best finished Mercedes your own, then there is probably no alternative to the C140. It is milled from the solid, it is the last Mercedes from an era where no one saved on weight and quality, Mercedes built the best car in the world at the time.
