Few modern Mercedes-Benz models made
quite the impact of the original CLS. Often credited with creating the four-door
coupe segment, it combined the elegance of a grand tourer with the practicality
of a luxury saloon, resulting in one of the most distinctive and stylish
Mercedes-Benz designs of the modern era.
First
registered in 2005, this Mercedes-Benz CLS 350 Auto is powered by the refined
3,498cc V6 petrol engine coupled to an automatic gearbox, a combination renowned
for its smooth performance, effortless cruising ability and refined character.
Showing just 55,136 miles, this is an exceptionally low-mileage example that has
clearly seen modest use throughout its life.
Finished in timeless Black, the car benefits from an impressive
factory specification that added some £10,810 worth of optional equipment when
new. Highlights include desirable AMG multi-spoke alloy wheels, COMAND APS
navigation, AirMATIC Dual Control air suspension, Bi-Xenon headlamps with Active
Light System, electric glass sunroof, comfort ventilated front seats, Parktronic
parking assistance, electric memory seats, luxury climate control, telephone
preparation and a six-disc CD changer.
The
combination of sleek pillarless coupe styling, luxurious accommodation and
extensive factory options makes this a particularly appealing example. Even
today, the CLS looks remarkably contemporary and continues to stand apart from
more conventional executive saloons.
Supporting
the low mileage is a useful history file comprising the V5C, MOT valid until
August 2027, seven previous MOT certificates and a selection of invoices. More
recently, the car has benefitted from the fitment of a new
battery.
Significantly, the Mercedes was driven
some 100 miles to the auction, providing a reassuring indication of its road
manners and reliability. It has clearly been enjoyed as intended and appears
ready for continued use.
Elegant, well-equipped
and increasingly appreciated by enthusiasts, this CLS 350 represents a fantastic
opportunity to acquire a low-mileage example of one of Mercedes-Benz's most
influential modern designs. Combining style, performance, comfort and a
substantial factory specification, it remains an enormous amount of car for the
money and looks ready to be enjoyed immediately by its next
owner.
