In keeping with many of the other Mercedes model series, in 2002 the new CLK-Class was able to bear the three-letter mark of sporting prowess: AMG. The package promised superlative power delivery and outstanding handling as well as a list of equipment that positively exuded exclusivity. Topping the new CLK range was a V8 model that delivered performance on a par with a typical sportscar; the CLK 55 AMG produced an impressive 367hp which could propel this stylish sports coupé to 60mph in just 5.2 seconds. Further features that made the flagship CLK-Class sports model really stand out, included a special AMG body styling for the front apron, rear apron and side skirts. Not to mention the 18-inch AMG light-alloy wheels, the AMG exhaust system with twin tailpipes and the specially developed spoiler lip on the boot lid, which reduced the lift acting on the rear axle by over 50 percent. The CLK 55 AMG Cabriolet (208) is a rare car in the UK as there were only a few hundred built worldwide with most going to the USA. The rest remained in mainland Europe with only a handful ending up on our shores. It cost a staggering £70,000 in 2002 which helped to keep it exclusive to this day.
Presented in metallic silver with charcoal leather trim, this example of the iconic 5.5 litre V8 AMG was first registered in September of 2003. Importantly, this example has been comprehensively serviced with 11 service entries or invoices, the last at 65,314 miles. Recently the car has been treated to a new power steering pump, and in 2025 the lower suspension arms and droplinks were replaced in a refresh to the suspension of the car. Boasting a fresh MoT test certificate valid until May 2027 with no advisories, a full book pack and the usual refinements associated with a top-of-the-line CLK 55, this combines luxury with the ability to unleased 367bhp with one of the most iconic engines of modern times.
