AMG CLK63 Black series

What do we think chaps?

I love them. 25 RHD in UK so should keep prices keen.

Mixed reports on box though.

If I was going to move the Cesil on, I suspect it would either be one of those or a 996 GT2

Two better replacements one could not pick.

Great taste Leins

This is the one to have, it's got the appropriate seats and in a cracking colour. Only 25 gives real exclusivity, this is a future classic.

imho its the only merc saloon/coupe that doesnt make one look like a taxi driver

C63 BS better.

Couple of my friends have this and to be honest I'd not consider one.

This thread is timely; I am setting up to look at a C63 Black, but hadn't considered the CLK. It's £20k cheaper and rarer too. Although they'd undoubtedly be better on track, those seats in the CLK look a bit cheap, though, in the context of the rest of the car.

I suspect that the noise alone is enough to make all other considerations irrelevant when considering whether to buy. I disagree with Shim, though. The problem with any of these fast Mercs is that there is always the whiff of a taxi about them

Today I'm looking at a Gen 1 997 GT3 and then a Gen 2, as a back-to-back comparison. Price differential is £30k, so I would be surprised if the Gen 2 wins out (and £90k is at the top of what I can afford), but I will report back.

All this is my roundabout way of saying that my CSL will shortly be up for sale..

PS: Agree with Leins. That photo reminds me of this piece of hilarity:

As a lawyer working in the music industry, I cannot condone the activities of Kim Dotcom, but I confess that this video (that apparently he funded) never fails to make me smile.
