Rather like that. Reasonable price, reasonable mileage. Simple spannering for most of it. Hard top superfluous - I had an a 320 one of these and the soft top is good enough to use all year around without feeling like you're missing out on anything.
See, I find that very tempting! Much more so than the £11,000 505 on the other thread... luckily / unluckily, I don't have space for a third car!

Just had £1,000 knocked of the price, 57plate so high tax unfortunately, CLS 350, appears to look 2 different colours on the drivers side, on 110k miles,

Untaxed since November so perhaps they have had it sat around for a while and want it gone, hence the discount. MOT history isn't too bad, might need to check the engine number for balancer shaft problems.

Could be a nice runaround for £1.5k.
If it's got a year's MOT, that averages out at £100 per moth and scrap value at the end... anything more is a bonus!

That was on auction a while back. It's such a splendiferous combination of colours.

It really makes it much mire appealing. Your fleet could use a W12

Phwoar. I know V6 SLs are fairly unloved, but I'm sure this would be a enjoyable waft.

Maybe a little rust startsing near the rear drivers side wheel, but like you say if it lasts a year or two, job done.

Pretty close to me, if I had the money for a car I’d definitely give it a look.

Wow, that's a whole lot of stunning car for the money. But you'd probably need to have a similar sum stashed away to run it for a year or two!

You might be spending the first of that stash getting an MOT.

A rather uncommon barge. S212 E500 with the 388bhp 5.5L M273 V8. In Desingo Mystic Brown -- the the interior is not to my tastes.

I like 85% of the interior, the rest not so much wink

I like it too too, those 212 interiors can look a bit bleak so i think it's lifted a bit with the two-tone and piping, which isn't normally my thing.

I like that a lot. Rear subframe corrosion advisory last year is of concern unless M-B would cover it under warranty.

This is absolute perfection. No notes. I need it.

Single-washer, great colours, monster spec.

i know what you mean, it did take some reading - any advert that uses both of the phrases 'sought after' and 'sort after' makes me shudder
but for somebody else it could a good excuse to pop in to the White Horse for lunch.

Two nice Merc's, someone has accidently put a 1 in front of the price of the 190e.
