Mercedes-Benz CLK 320 Avantgarde - T Reg (1999) - 94,000 Miles - One Owner From New - Exceptional History
Some cars are simply owned. Others become part of a family's story. This beautiful 1999 Mercedes-Benz CLK 320 falls firmly into the latter category.
Finished in timeless Mercedes style and having covered just 94,000 miles, this cherished CLK comes with a truly special provenance - one owner from new and a story that makes it unlike any other.
Back in 1999, when this car was brand new, the owner made a memorable journey to Germany to collect it from Mercedes. Accompanying him was his excited 10-year-old son, who made the trip alongside his father because, of course, he wasn't old enough to drive it home himself! It became a father-and-son adventure and the beginning of a 27-year ownership journey that turned this CLK into far more than transport - it became part of the family.
Years later, life changes as it does, and the car eventually came to us simply because he could no longer drive it anymore. It wasn't a car anyone wanted to part with lightly, and once you see it, you'll understand why.
This CLK remains in lovely condition throughout, clearly having lived a cherished life rather than a hard one. It boasts lots of desirable extras, and everything feels wonderfully solid in the way only late-90s Mercedes could achieve.
The electric roof operates perfectly, opening and closing exactly as it should, turning every drive into an occasion. Out on the road it simply glides. It drives beautifully - smooth, refined and with that glorious 3.2-litre Mercedes straight-six engine delivering effortless power exactly as Stuttgart intended. It's one of those engines that reminds you why Mercedes built its reputation on engineering excellence - silky smooth, strong throughout the rev range and possessing a wonderful, understated character modern cars just seem to lack.
This is a car that still turns heads not because it shouts, but because it simply has presence. Elegant lines, genuine pedigree and a history you just cannot recreate.
A rare opportunity to own not just a Mercedes-Benz CLK, but a car with a genuine family story attached to it.
