The squat on the rear of this Mercedes was quite impressive! Haven't seen an old German plate like that for a while.

A veritable 'wolf in sheep's clothing' with an unrestricted top speed of over 186 mph (300 km/h), the naturally aspirated CL63 coupe is the rarest of all the C215 series with only 26 produced featuring a hand built 439 bhp AMG 6,3-litre V12 engine, developing a whopping 620 Nm of torque - an evolution of which was used by Pagani in their stunning Zonda hypercar.
These uber exclusive super-coupes were never officially sold by Mercedes, available only through AMG with a staggering list price of £ 180.000, although no two cars were the same with a dizzying array of bespoke options and huge ‘standard’ spec including electrically heated and cooled memory massage seats, Comand satellite navigation, double-glazing, radar guided cruise control, key-less go and acres of soft leather and walnut trim.
This fine example was supplied new by Daimler Chrysler Dusseldorf in April 2002 and comes to us from a large private collection and has seen little use. The current mileage indicated is only 32.551 which is consistent with its Mot history, rising in small annual increments from 19.593 miles in July 2006 up to its last Mot in February 2012.
The vehicle’s history file includes its V5C, owners pack with Comand and Linguatronic user manuals, CL63 part catalogue, other booklets and service book showing four stamps recording main dealer services at 10,204 miles in 2005, 17.002 miles in 2006, 23.373 miles in 2007 and most recently at MB Cardiff in 2010 at 27.232 miles along with a selection of invoices, one old Mot and a letter.
We have had the car running and driving, however clearly after such a period of inactivity, a hand-built power-house such as this would benefit from a thorough service and check-over before storming down the autobahns exploring the upper limits…of its de-limited range.
Bidders are adivsed that the rev counter states ‘V8 Kompressor’ – the car is not a V8 Kompressor, but the 6,3 V12 as stated. We understand many C215 cars suffered partial electronic failure of their dash binnacles and were replaced with what was available as has evidently occurred here.

'Nobody who viewed or evaluated the W140 when it first appeared was in any doubt that Stuttgart's engineers had excelled themselves once again: the car was a technological tour de force, which had been designed with typical Mercedes thoroughness and was built to the usual impeccable standards.' – James Taylor, 'Mercedes-Benz Cars of the 1990s'.
To say that the new W140 S-Class bristled with new technology would be a gross understatement, for at the time of their introduction in October 1991 there was no denying that these were the most advanced passenger cars in the world. With production of the saloon models getting underway, Mercedes announced the planned upmarket coupés at the Detroit Motor Show in January 1992. Built on a shorter wheelbase, they were available at first with only two alternative engines: a 5.0-litre V8 or 6.0-litre V12, and shared their mechanical underpinnings with the W140 saloons. Starting life as the 500 SEC and 600 SEC respectively, they were renamed S 500 and S 600 in 1993, and CL 500 and CL 600 in 1996.
This magnificent Mercedes-Benz CL 500 was ordered new by the current owner and delivered by via the Belgian dealership, Vereenooghe. Every four years the owner would buy a brand new Mercedes, and he always returned his current car to the dealership; with this car, he just could not part with it! Boasting every conceivable option, including overnight heating and a sunroof, this car cost a fortune when new - four million Belgian francs - which is the equivalent of € 100.000 today. Having covered only 47.000 kilometres from new, the car is presented in excellent condition throughout, with an interior that still smells like new. Finished in possibly the best colour combination for the model, it comes with Belgian registration papers and all the original books.

This once busy yard was home to extensive triple-gauge (1,600mm, 1,435mm & 1,067mm) trackwork, as well as a broad gauge connection from Adelaide & the start of the narrow gauge Wilmington branch.
