SUMMARY

First generation C208 Coupé propelled by AMG's legendary 5.4-litre, 350bhp V8 from long-term careful ownership and offered Without Reserve.

DESCRIPTION

  • Positioned between the SLK-Class and the CL-Class, the CLK (Coupé Leicht Kurz) remained in production through two generations between 1996 and 2010
  • AMG’s take on the new model involved the insertion of their 5.4-litre M113 V8 and body and suspension settings adjusted to handle the extra power
  • At the turn of the century, AMG was still very close to its tuner roots and the new engine was fitted with a forged crankshaft, pistons and rods. Offering 347bhp and massive torque, performance was impressive
  • The model is understood to have been only available for around 18 months during which we believe c.400 were supplied to the UK
  • Dating from 2000 and finished in Brilliant Silver, this wonderful example has been maintained and cherished by its fastidious owner for almost 15 years
  • Still displaying just over 86,000 miles, it flew through a recent MOT (no advisories) in August 2024
  • This rare right-hand drive AMG rocket-ship is being offered without Reserve
