Lot details

Registration No: SP07 LTJ
Chassis No: WDD2163772A005651
MOT: February 2023

  • Outrageously fast, four-seater super coupe (quoted 0-60mph in 4.5 seconds and limited to 155mph)
  • 6208cc DOHC V8 engine rated at 525bhp and 465lbft of torque
  • Eleven service stamps (main dealer and specialist) to warrant the 91,000 recorded miles
  • Lavishly equipped with a TV, rear fridge and 20-inch alloys etc

‘Frankly, it’s bloody marvellous. Muscular yet agile, sophisticated and powered by a magnificent engine, it makes the Bentley GT look frumpy and cumbersome. If you have a loose £105,000 knocking about, there’s nothing that comes close to matching the CL63 AMG’ (CAR magazine, 5th October 2006)

Launched at the 2006 Paris Salon, the C216 generation of Mercedes-Benz’s long-running S-Class Coupe was styled by Gorden Wagener and Peter Pfeiffer. An extravagant 2+2-seater intended to do battle with the Aston Martin DB9 and Bentley Continental GT, the newcomer was powered by various V8 and V12 engines with the fastest variants benefiting from the attention of the Stuttgart manufacturer’s in-house tuning division, AMG. Deemed by many to be one of the greatest, naturally aspirated V8 engines ever made, the 6208cc unit fitted to the CL63 AMG was rated at 518bhp and 465lbft of torque. Allied to seven-speed automatic transmission, it enabled the super coupe to blast from 0-60mph in 4.5 seconds. The top speed was limited to 155mph (though, 200mph was reputedly possible with the relevant electronics bypassed). As technologically advanced and cossetting as its S-Class underpinnings would imply, the pillarless ‘Benz also boasted a wonderfully cocooning interior.

Finished in Iridium Silver Metallic with Anthracite Black leather upholstery, this particular example is understood to have cost £126,000 when new. Boasting numerous extras including a fridge to the rear compartment and 20-inch alloy wheels, its warranted odometer reading of 91,000 miles is supported by eleven service stamps. Treated to a new amplifier, underbody Waxoyl treatment and thorough check over by independent Mercedes specialist Nick Webster at the vendor’s behest, ‘SP07 LTJ’ started readily and ran well during our recent photography session. Indeed, the seller is confident that a new owner ‘can just jump in and go’. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, original book pack, MOT certificate and two keys.

PLEASE NOTE: The seller has misplaced his V5C Registration Document for this lot. He has applied for a new one which will be forwarded to the successful purchaser. The car is accompanied by a ‘green slip’ from its previous V5C Registration Document. The Mercedes-Benz is currently taxed until February 1st 2023.
