Hello,
Picked up a 2001 CLK 320 last month, thought I would share as it progresses.
My intention is to make this turnkey, and OEM+ with some tasteful upgrades.
Genuine 43k miles on the clock and totally standard. I am the 3rd owner.
Brilliant silver with mint black leather interior.
Couple of scrapes and scratches to be sorted out, but only 1 small area of rust on the front driver wing.. other than this looks really good and underneath very clean. Interior mint bar a small tear on the driver seat bolster which I'll get repaired asap and the electric mirror button is missing, cheap fix.
Other bits to fix quickly.. steering is vague/unresponsive, drivers electric seat will only move forwards and folding rear seats don't fold (nothing happens when the lever is pulled).
First set of upgrades I'll be doing:
- Install cheap touchscreen carplay unit in place of stock CD player (install better one later)
- Source, paint and fit genuine CLK55 front and rear bumpers and side skirts
- Decide on what wheels to replace the 16 inch wheels its currently on (I'm thinking 18" monoblocks from the E55 with low profile tyres will fit without any messing about?)
In the meantime, here's some pictures of the car at the dealer just before it was delivered:
