The CL Class is the Coupé derivative of the S Class full size luxury saloon, upon which it shares the same platform, it was formerly known as the SEC (Sonderklasse Einspritzmotor Coupé) and latterly the S Coupé. After six years of development, the third generation was officially unveiled at the end of June 2006 and was presented at the 2006 Paris Salon. Like its predecessors, the C216 has no B pillar interrupting the sleek curve of the side windows. C216 is offered in four models, each with its own engine and transmission, the 5.5L V8-powered CL 500; the high-performance 6.2L V8-powered CL 63 AMG; the ultra-luxury twin-turbo 5.5L V12-powered CL 600; and lastly the CL 65 AMG with a twin-turbo 6.0L V12 engine. The C216 makes use of the Distronic Plus cruise control, which debuted on the 2007 S-Class. This system is able to bring the car to a complete stop, and accelerate again to the pre-set speed, to keep a pre-set distance away from the car ahead of it. This Mercedes-Benz CL has also debuted with the new Active NightVision program that enables drivers to view the conditions in front of the car despite the dark surroundings.

Manufactured in 2007, the CL600 offered was registered new on the 1st March that year. Finished in Iridium Silver with complementary Black Exclusive leather interior upholstery and Ash Black wood interior trim, the CL was well-specified from the factory with options including AMG 20-inch wheels, parking guidance, Dynamic front seats, Distronic Plus cruise control, upgraded theft protection, automatic climate control, DVD changer, rear headrests, heated screen wash system, and remote boot locking amongst many others. Offered having covered just 59,000 miles from new, the CL600 has had four former keepers and is being entered from a small private collection of modern classic Mercedes-Benz.

Benefitting from significant improvement in 2020, a new coil pack was fitted and the gearbox was supplied with a full overhaul by a transmission specialist. Offered with a history file that comprises the original book pack including owner’s handbook and stamped service book, invoices documenting maintenance, improvement, and servicing, previous MOT certificates, a no advisory MOT certificate until May 2025, and a current V5C. Evidenced across the service book and invoices, the CL600 has received eight services with the majority of those completed by main dealers, with the last being completed at 58,400 miles. These Coupés are renowned for their opulence, and this example with modest mileage is certainly one to consider! PLEASE NOTE: The registration number shown in the images is not included in the sale.
