The word 'Flagship' can be used by any motor manufacturer with a range of products. When Mercedes-Benz use the reference it means more than most. 

The all-conquering flagship S Class saloons have remained at the top of the tree for many years, managing to sell in high volume, yet retaining extraordinary quality and sophistication. The CL500 you see here is based on that superb S Class platform, the W215 models being produced from 2000 until 2006.

Using the best technology from its four door sibling, the svelte two door coupe carried over the stunning active suspension system, which links to the steering and braking systems, pumping oil to a series of rams in the suspension at nearly 3,000psi, delivering super flat cornering and immense stability. The normal luxuries such as cruise control, electric seats and a superb sound system were to be expected, but the massaging front seats, as fitted to this example, were really something else!

The magnificent 5-litre V8 put 302bhp and a mighty 339lb/ft at the driver’s disposal, launching the luxury Coupe to 60mph in just 6.1 seconds with a top speed limited to 155mph. Costing over £60,000 new, ownership was limited to a privileged few.

First registered in October 2004, this CL500 has had just three owners from new, the last since 2009, and has covered some 98,000 miles to date with a full service history, all but one service at MB main agents. Finished in classic Mercedes silver with a black leather interior, the car is said to be in superb condition throughout with no known faults and immense power from the V8 engine.

The full spec is too detailed to list in full but includes those massaging front seats; soft close doors; remotely operated boot; interior wood trim; sat nav; air con; LED rear lights etc. MOTd until the end of the year, this spectacular car will certainly get your neighbours’ curtains twitching when they see it on your drive!
