Introduction

These CLKs are superbly built and engineered, extremely reliable, smooth & fast, and fabulous looking. I've also found it highly usable.

I have owned this car from new - ordered to my chosen spec. of Brilliant Silver metallic paint over Grey leather interior - and collected directly from Hamburg in 2000.

I am slowly reducing my small collection of cars as I no longer use them as much as they deserve. I'd love to have kept it but I have to be practical.

There are lots of optional extras on the vehicle, including:
AMG wheels and sports suspension.
CD player and cupholder.
Electric drivers seat and memory for seat and mirrors.
Wood and leather steering wheel.
Parktronic.
Xenon headlights.
Automatic climate control.

Market Auction

Jack, the seller, has created this listing themselves using our free Market Auction tool. Unlike our Curated Auctions, we haven’t photographed the car or written the listing, however we have completed 3 important security checks for your peace of mind.

V5C Checked

Jack provided a copy of the V5C logbook, which we verified against his photo ID for name and address confirmation.

ID Checked

Jack provided his photo ID, which we verified against the name and address on the V5C logbook.

History Checked

History check actioned using HPi, the industry’s top verification service, for finance, write-offs, and stolen records.

Exterior

This is the face lift model, in stunning Brilliant Silver metallic paint, with AMG alloy wheels, sports suspension, black hood, and grey leather interior. Lots of extras from new. Fabulous looking car still turns heads !

Wheels and Tyres

The factory AMG alloy wheels are in very good condition, with one or two minor chips to the rims. They're 7.5 J fronts and 8.5 J rears.

The tyres are 225/45 17 at the front and 245/40 17 at the rear. The condition of the tyres recorded at October 2025 at last MOT (see Perfect Touch invoice) as follows:
NSF 62% worn
OSF 62% worn
NSR 15% worn
OSR 15% worn

The car has covered just 15 miles since then.

Bodywork

The bodywork is generally in very good condition with just a couple of issues. I have tried to show these all clearly in the photos.

NS rear wheel arch: small area of bubbling paint to the bottom front edge.
OS rear wheel arch: small area of bubbling paint to the bottom front edge.

Paint

The paint is even in colour and has hardly faded at all considering the age of the vehicle.

Glass and Trim

The windows are all good, and the external trim is generally good.

The black rubber sealing beads between the bottom of the wings and sills has broken in places and would benefit from renewal.

Additionally, the headlights need polishing.

Interior

Beautiful grey leather and Elegance model wood trim provides the classic, quality Mercedes look.

Seats and Carpets

The seats and door cards are all in very good condition, with very few small marks or scratches. The drivers door card has small tear along a seam that could be repaired.

The trim along the top of the drivers door, below the window, is slightly loose.

Carpets are generally very good. The original Mercedes carpet protector mats show some signs of wear commensurate with their age.

The headlining is in good condition.

A plastic trim around the rear window is broken and needs replacing.

Dashboard

The dashboard is in very good condition, with no apparent cracks or fading.

The dials and instruments are all good.

Steering Wheel / Gear Stick

The steering wheel is the original optional walnut and leather item in very good condition, as is the gear selector - exhibiting only a few marks commensurate with age.

Mechanics

This car was built to a high quality by Mercedes. It's in very good mechanical condition, with only a few areas requiring attention.

Engine and Gearbox

The engine and gearbox are both original.

An oil leak was noted at the front during the MOT test on 31.10.25

Suspension and Brakes

The suspension and brakes are all original and working well.

Wheel bearing play (near side and off side front) was noted during the MOT on 31.10.25 and rectified by Perfect Touch 04.11.25

Brake pipes (near side and off side) were noted to be corroded (monitor advisory) during the MOT on 31.10.25

Only 15 miles have been covered since then.

The Drive

The car starts first time, and has been very reliable. It drives very well, feeling fast, smooth, and suffering no unusual. bumps rattles, or noises.

Electrics and Other

Electrics generally all good with the following exceptions:

The electric drivers seat sometimes does not move forward but operates on memory function.
The electric door mirrors sometimes do not operate perfectly.

The automatic roof does go up and down, but it is a bit clunky as I haven't previously used it for quite a while. I think it would benefit from some lubrication at the joints and where the rubber seals meet.

The trim around the rear window also needs looking at which will help I think.

It is the original roof.

History and Paperwork

I've owned this car from new, and its history is all known and recorded. I first bought it through my company (of which I'm still a director) and have always been recorded as the registered keeper.

Serviced from new initially by Waterhouse Mercedes Chelmsford, then in latter years Sunnymede Autos.

No major non-service work.

---------------------------------------------

From Trade Classics:
This is a Market Auction listing, meaning we have not visited and photographed the car - instead the seller has supplied the images and written the description. However we’ve done all our usual seller checks, including photo ID that matches the V5, and also actioned a history check on the vehicle - this is a professional check operated by HPi that will highlight if the car has been previously stolen, recorded as being in an accident, or have any outstanding finance - note, this does not include a mileage history check.

Viewings are welcomed, so please get in touch with us via the 'contact us' page - we just need to speak to you first on the phone, have you register on the site, and also send in valid photo ID before confirming a suitable time to visit.

Like all our auctions, if there's anything you're unsure about, no matter how small, then please first ask the owner in the comments area below before placing your bids, as bids can't be retracted and form a binding contract if you win the car - the Buyer's Premium is not refundable in any instance, just like a traditional auction house.

    Hi Jack, I believe the service history only goes up to 2017 ? Has the vehicle not been serviced since then ? Also is the car an import ?

    Thanks Dave

    Key Bidding Facts

    What is your reserve policy?

    A reserve is the minimum price a seller is willing to accept for their vehicle. We work closely with sellers to set realistic reserves that reflect current market values — we don’t take on vehicles with inflated or unrealistic expectations.

    If the reserve isn’t met when the auction ends, we’ll work with the highest bidder to try and agree a deal with the seller.

    Whether the reserve has been met may / may not be disclosed during the auction — just like a traditional auction house. Bidders usually find out if they’ve won only when the auction ends.

    As a guide:
    – If you’re able to place a second bid, the reserve hasn’t been met.
    – If you attempt to outbid yourself and the system blocks it, then the reserve has been met.

    Why shouldn’t I leave bidding to the last minute?

    Auto-Extending Bidding – we’ve developed auto-extending auctions that mimic traditional auction house bidding; it’s a key feature to make sure classic vehicles achieve their true worth. Bids placed in the last one minute automatically extend the auction by two further minutes. So there is no need to leave bidding to the last second.

    Security – we operate higher levels of security, so you may need to enter further authorisations against your stored card after you select ‘Place Bid’. All this takes time and may mean you miss the end of the auction by the time the authorisation passes. To guarantee your bid, we recommend at least five minutes are active on the auction when you place your bid.

    Network Connection – your device may lose connection and you’re not able to bid, or see the latest bidding history.
