    Sorry for not knowing any better, but it that a C216 in your picture?

    CL500 - is it worth restoring?

    You’re right. I do love this car. And I’d happily spend all £10k in it (hopefully not all at once) if I knew it would then last another 10 years.

    CL500 - is it worth restoring?

    Thanks, I’m going to see one on Monday. If you don’t mind, could I ask you a question? I’m assuming from your answer that you either work with Mercedes or at least, have a very good knowledge of the different models. Of all the big engined coupes, which would you say are the best to own?
