Offered without reserve, this 2007 Mercedes-Benz CLK 280 Cabriolet is a neatly presented example of the marque’s millennium-era luxury convertible, benefitting from the upgraded ‘Avantgarde’ specification and consistent recent servicing. Under the bonnet is the 3.0litre ‘M272’ V6, which produces around 170 kW, and drives the rear wheels via the optional seven-speed ‘7G-Tronic’ automatic transmission First registered in 2008, the vehicle has been with the vendor for the last six years. The A209-generation CLK was introduced in 2002, updating the model in its second generation with three-link front suspension and aluminium rear multi-link suspension. Other equipment includes anti-lock brakes, electronic stability control, power seats and dual-zone climate control. The optional ‘Avantgarde’ specification gives the car a sportier handling package, lowering it and fitting stiffer springs and thicker anti-roll bars. This example is finished in the timeless hue of Obsidian Black with a black soft-top roof, over an Amaretta leather-trimmed interior, contrasted by a black dashboard, carpet, headlining and centre console, which features textured aluminium trim inlays. Factory-fitted equipment includes Vario Steering, rear isofix points, automatic climate control, headlamp washers, bi-xenon headlights, a double-DIN radio/CD player with an additional CD changer in the glove compartment, and front and rear parking sensors. The car will be sold with its owner’s manual and stamped service record contained in the correct Mercedes-Benz folder, keys, tools and original spare tyre, with servicing receipts from the past six years also included. There is no known bodywork damage or accident history, though there is very minor dent in the bonnet below the wipers. The Obsidian Black paintwork is believed to be original and has been preserved in very good condition, showing only surface-level wear including minor stone chips, scratches, and other small imperfections around the vehicle, most obviously on the passenger-side door mirror cover. The interior is also understood to be original and well maintained. There is some minor creasing and wear on the front seats and particularly on the driver’s seat bolster, but the rear seats show little sign of wear, the door cards and carpets are in very good shape, and there is no undue wear noted. There are no known mechanical or electrical faults, and all of the controls, instruments and dials work as designed. The car’s last roadworthiness test was completed in November, 2021 and the vehicle passed without any issues or advisories.
