On the Surface:

Finished in classic Silver over a Black leather interior, this Mercedes-Benz CL 420 offers a great foundation as a starter or modern classic.

Maintenance & History:

With only two former keepers it has been current ownership for the past eight years. Accompanied by its original leatherbound Mercedes-Benz bookpack, the car retains the factory handbooks and Maintenance Booklet showing three service stamps between 1998 at 11,620 miles and 1999 at 40,390 miles. Having covered a genuine 60,531 miles to date, this mileage is verified by accompanying MOT and service records. 

This CL 420 was taken off the road in the early 2000s and remained stored until returning to use in 2016.

The Model:

The Mercedes-Benz CL-Class, introduced in 1992, represented the pinnacle of the brand’s engineering and design. The name Coupé Luxusklasse (Coupé Luxury Class) reflected its positioning as Mercedes’ premier grand tourer. Built on the W140 (C140) platform and designed by Bruno Sacco, the first-generation CL combined luxury, performance and technology in a distinctive, elegant body. The CL 420 was powered by the smooth and capable 4.2-litre M119 V8, producing 275 bhp and offering refined yet engaging performance — the entry point to a range that extended to the mighty 7.3-litre V12.

Sale Insight:

With its low mileage and long-term ownership this CL 420 stands as a superb opportunity to acquire a modern classic that blends performance and comfort.
