I love that car, how many people are kicking themselves for not going to the auction now!!
The work on the interior is spot on, and it looks like factory build too. With it being an 03, the interior colours may have been taken from a 209.
Love it, very very nice!

I think the trim is designo .. the data card says so, and it looks pretty good too:
It doesnt have the orthopaedic seats
I dont think it is Designo because I think it should have Designo embossed into the backrest if it was.
Its certainly worth a look this weekend just for some pictures if nothing else!
Can you PM me the VIN? I'd like to run it through the offical EPC net.

Its definately a retrim.
Original datacard has code 211A which is anthracite leather. Thats black not cream. It also fits with the trim on the steering wheel.
Designo interior it is not.

good detective work.
the Russian VIN site said:
021 designo leather
211 anthracite leather
Dee-124CAB

That explains the immaculate driver seat bolsters.
If factory designo, should the centre parts of the seats be perforated leather?...Cant tell if these are...
If the datacard also says 430, is there not a chance the seats were changed from Anthracite to this leather at the same time the engine was changed by AMG??

I want the engine bay in my CLK55 to look that good!
Colour combo, both inside & out is just gorgeous. The interior looks sensational IMHO.

As he paid £10,700 for it at auction there is a whopping profit in it.
If I bought it I would immediately put it back to the correct anthracite leather interior and of course add Comand.
Colour combo doesn't do it for me either. Although i'm sure it looks different in the flesh
I reckon Baynard's are one of these dealers who are happy to stick with stock for a long time until somebody stumps up the asking price.
But i'd def bite for anything near £10,700

i'm still not convinced its a retrim but either way, i love it in its current trim colour! i'd happily pay about £13-14k tops if its as good as it looks but still a long way off his wants!
btw there is another w208 55 convertible on autotrader at the mo. more miles and not so special but far cheaper!

I'm not sure that's a CLK55 AMG, it doesn't even have the AMG bodykit or AMG wheels.

I think the CLK is worth £11 to £12k tops.
It might be in good order but you will take a big hit come resale time.

If the dealer wasnt so greedy it would have sold by now... I know at least 3 parties that would have bought this at a more sensible figure, still leaving him a healthy margin.

What is reasonable margin Jay ?
usually around £800-£1500... however if you stumble across something like this, £2k wouldnt be unreasonable.
