“It’s an
absolute gem, this engine. Once the CL gets going it feels like nothing will
stop it – the acceleration is just relentless. Gunned from standstill and the
big coupe will race through its seven-speed automatic transmission to touch
60mph in 4.5 seconds and bounce up hard against its 155mph limiter. The ABC
active body control system virtually eliminates body roll, pitch and dive and
along with the taut and surprisingly chatty steering, makes the car feel nimble
and wieldy enough to give a Gallardo a hard time up an Alpine pass. This is such
a wonderfully complete car. Yes, you could argue the point that its
over-powered, over-priced and simply over the top. But spend a day in it and
you’ll find yourself thinking that it has just the right amount of power. But
most importantly it possesses an increasingly rare asset – character. If you
have the money, you shouldn’t even think twice” – CAR magazine
2006.
AMG’s naturally aspirated 6.3 V8 has
already passed into legend as one of the greatest engines of the modern era.
Shoe-horned under the bonnet of the sleek and muscular CL63 Coupe, it makes for
an intoxicating blend of luxury and performance.
Supplied new by M-B dealership Western Automobile Company of
Edinburgh in May 2007, this CL63 Coupe would have cost its first owner just over
£112,000 including £9,500 worth of options.
These include: Exclusive Passion leather upholstery; Dynamic
multi-contour front seats with heating and cooling, lumbar massage and active
cornering support; Distronic plus radar assist cruise control; keyless go; TV
tuner; Harmon Kardon sound system with Logic 7 surround; reversing camera; ski
hatch and pneumatically operated rear headrests. Other features include
double glazing, sat nav, Alcantara roof lining and Xenon headlights.
For the last four years this car has been owned
by a professional car mechanic and garage proprietor. He tells us that it has
proved totally reliable during this time and while it has no early service
history, it has been serviced three times during the current ownership, the last
immediately before this auction which included fresh gearbox oil and a new
battery (see photos).
As you can see in the
photos, this C63 is in exceptionally good condition for its
year/mileage and has been starting instantly and driving very nicely as we have
moved it around on site, with no warning lights and that fabulous V8 exhaust
note.
It has an MOT until June 2026 with no
advisories recorded and is on offer here at a very enticing guide price. Go on, you only live
once…
