EXTERIOR
This sporting CLK320 Avantgarde is finished in factory optional Quartz Blue metallic, (Code 935), and the paintwork remains 100% original.

An outstanding example in all respects and collector grade quality.

INTERIOR
A genuine four-seater convertible spacious enough for four adults. Trimmed in beautiful and expensive factory optional Orion Grey/Dark Grey Leather, (Code 228), the upholstery is pristine and entirely commensurate with the very low mileage. The ergonomically designed Mescalaro seats are supremely comfortable and the leather remains supple and tight. Plush carpets have been protected from new by genuine Mercedes-Benz tailored over mats. The Avantgarde model came with beautiful Birds Eye Maple trim sections with are unmarked and other leather trim sections are pristine, as is the Orion Grey headlining. The functions and controls operate exactly as they should including the air conditioning and LCD display for the trip computer, clock and outside temperature which often fails. Inside the immaculate boot area is the original warning triangle, first aid kit, jack, and tool roll. Opulence and comfort to all occupants with Mercedes-Benz craftsmanship assured.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The Mercedes V-engine of 3199cc displacement produces 218bhp at 5700rpm and 310Nm torque at 4600rpm to achieve a top speed of 146mph and 0-62 in just 8.3 seconds. The engine bay is exceptionally clean and suitable for bonnet up exhibiting should the new owner desire. The standard 5 speed automatic transmission with winter/sport modes and Tipshift Function adapts to your driving manner to offer gear changes to suit your mood. A powerful, smooth and effortless driving experience with added convenience of Speedtronic cruise control.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
Avantgarde specification 7-spoke light alloy wheels are unrestored and so retain the correct diamond cut rim edge. The wheels look stunning and close inspection will reveal nothing other than miniscule markings barely worthy of mention. Brand new premium quality Michelin Primacy 5 tyres of size 205/55 R16 were fitted in March 2026. The spare wheel is the unused full-size item with Michelin item still showing coloured banding. The anti-lock braking system with Brake Assist (BAS) offers absolute stopping power to install complete peace of mind.
