Or just get an achingly beautiful CL500 W215.
V8, super comfortable, Reliable, cavernous boot.

"What a handsome craft, such lovely lines..." 007

...and after admiring photos such as the one below for too long I now have one!



Btw, never worked out if it is a C215 or W215, but I thought the C was the coupe and the W the saloon body?

And what a thing of beauty it is! A 55K too (hurries away to browse the ads)

W means "Wagen" and they are all Wagens.

However, C is Coupe designation.

So it is a C215.

So I was right to think it is a C215, thank you for confirming

It’s flexible - there was never a “saloon” 215.

(I suppose the ‘nearest’ was the W220 - with which it shares some common parts) .....

Ours wafted us to Kew Gardens today
