Merc "Oddities"

[J4CKO]

Which are those cars that there aren't many of, that on the face of it don't look rare but are a uncommon spec or colour, for example, this, not seen one in the wild, first one I have seen for sale, just over 400 Bhp with scope for over 500,

Perhaps a bit pricey but the ruse of diesel at the time these were offered means there are very few, any other petrols are AMG 63s, thus with a map will be quicker than the older 63 and 55 models, make a good buy for someone.

There was also the CLK 500 with the 5.5 engine, any other interesting anomalies out there ?

Yeah. 500 Coupes are common ask muck. For exclusivity try the 212 500 estate. 400 bhp family bus. Maybe 10 in the UK?

Ditto the ML with that engine, I think anything not diesel or an AMG with a V8 is super rare after about 2010.

Can't have been many people that chose the manual gearbox option on their CLK convertible?
