The CL Class is the coupé derivative of the S Class full size luxury saloon, upon which it shares the same platform, it was formerly known as the SEC (Sonderklasse Einspritzmotor Coupé) and latterly the S Coupé. After six years of development, the third generation was officially unveiled at the end of June 2006 and was presented at the 2006 Paris Salon. Like its predecessors, the C216 has no B pillar interrupting the sleek curve of the side windows. C216 is offered in four models, each with its own engine and transmission, the 5.5L V8-powered CL 500; the high-performance 6.2L V8-powered CL 63 AMG; the ultra-luxury twin-turbo 5.5L V12-powered CL 600; and lastly the CL 65 AMG with a twin-turbo 6.0L V12 engine. The C216 makes use of the Distronic Plus cruise control, which debuted on the 2007 S-Class. This system is able to bring the car to a complete stop, and accelerate again to the pre-set speed, to keep a pre-set distance away from the car ahead of it. This Mercedes-Benz CL has also debuted with the new Active NightVision program that enables drivers to view the conditions in front of the car despite the dark surroundings.
Manufactured new in 2007, chassis number 010695 was supplied new to PMG Investments Ltd of Birmingham, wearing both registration numbers ‘PMG 1’ and ‘1 HOP’ during their ownership. Acquired by the vendor in 2013 as the first (and sole) private owner, the CL 600 is finished in special order Designo Ice Blue metallic paintwork with complementary Savanna Beige Exclusive leather interior upholstery and Walnut veneer interior finishers. Well-specified from new, the Mercedes’ features include the aforementioned Distronic and NightVision, as well as a reversing camera, Designo Alcantara headlining, heater and cooled memory seats with massage function, parking sensors, soft close doors and boot, double glazed, Harman Kardon, TV, and side seat bolsters providing extra holding when cornering. Further options comprised the 18-inch five-spoke light alloy wheels, dual cup holder, high-theft protection, and universal telephone package.
A notably nice example and rated as ‘excellent’ throughout by the vendor, ‘S600 XXX’ (as now registered) has covered less than 21,000 miles from new at time of consignment. Offered with a history file that contains the original book pack comprising the owner's handbook, assorted booklets, and the stamped service book, which illustrates service history all completed by Mercedes-Benz main agents, with thirteen stamps documented. Further included in the documents file is a large collection of invoices and previous MOTs, and a current V5C document. Said by the vendor to ‘drive beautifully with no known faults’, the CL is supplied with a trickle charger (and accompanying information book), two sets of keys, the CL 600 is shod with matching tyres, the same type as originally fitted, which have covered just c.3,100 miles. These Coupés are renowned for their opulence and ability to eat up mileage, and with the V12 engine and such low mileage and excellent condition, this example is certainly impressive.
