W208 55 Convertible

To be fair I think even 430 cabs weren’t that common?

I had a 230 back in the day and absolutely loved it. Still would have a CLK today in the right conditions. The AMG styling and a set of staggered monos make it look very purposeful indeed

Indeed. I love ours. Quartz blue is my favourite. I’ve owned a coupe in this colour in my time too. Took this pic on a recent sunny day picnic with the family. Perfect picnic car.

That is indeed a lovely lovely thing

How do they drive? Im sure Olly mentioned to me years ago that they weren’t as stiff as the W209?

No, old wafter. Sit back and cruise with a v8 woofle soundtrack. Very relaxing old thing. Certainly not a sportscar. Enough grunt though

I had a quartz blue CLK320 convertible too .. bought from Stockholm and driven home. in those days, there were huge waiting lists

it was a great car. Very fast and very stable. I loved it. I replaced it with a CLK55

Mine was only a 230K but I lurved it! Yes I fitted the Azev A's

That CLK55 looks nice but not sure what type of buyer it's going to appeal to at that money. I'm with Jobsworth, I bought my CLK430 earlier this year and have just enjoyed wafting around with the roof down on fair weather days. I have an Eisenmann exhuast on order which should give a nice V8 burble and add to the 'waft factor' quite nicely, all for Fiesta money.

I had a quartz blue clk200 in September 1999 when they first came out withhe indicators in the mirrors. Fantastic car which drew looks.

Later got myself a lovely quartz blue CLK320 cab which ended up with lots of options and that’s when I first met Richard and we started Comand

This is weird, I had a quartz blue metallic/Orion coupe before the 55!

My coupe was quartz/orion, which although nice felt perhaps a little cold. My cab is quartz/siam, which I’ve never seen another. It has a slightly warmer feel to the interior colour
