EXTERIOR
This well-appointed Mercedes-Benz A208 CLK230 Elegance is finished in original Brilliant Silver (code 744). The paintwork simply gleams with a crisp bright shine and excellent finish to really enhance the graceful lines of this genuine four seat open tourer. Only very small and minor touched in chips can be seen upon close inspection, and a light scuff to the rear nearside bumper is inoffensive. The beautifully made trim sections, glass lights and badges are fully intact. The hood trimmed in Black with Orion Grey headlining is in exceptional order with no damage, and the electric operation is flawless. Inside the roof has 20mm thick fibre fleece padding for optimum heat and sound insulation. An exterior showcasing enthusiast ownership and minimal usage to truly set this example well above the normal offerings. Typical Mercedes Benz indulgence.
INTERIOR
Luxury and opulence in abundance, a cabin space to overwhelm and delight! Trimmed in beautiful factory optional Orion Grey Leather (code 218), the upholstery is clean and free from evidence of misuse. The seats have retained all shape and firm composition with only the driver’s seat outer bolster displaying light hairline veins to the leather. All burr walnut cappings and other leather trim sections are pristine and unique to the high specification Elegance model. The functions and controls operate as they should, although the LCD display for the clock and outside temperature has leaked. This ergonomically exceptional interior offers impeccable comfort to all occupants with Mercedes-Benz build quality assured.
ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The Mercedes V-engine of 2295cc displacement produces 193bhp at 5300rpm whilst the Kompressor (supercharger) heightens both power and torque levels, but at the same time offers surprisingly good fuel consumption.

A superb driving experience.
