Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This is a 1997 Mercedes-Benz CL 420, with a V8 petrol engine, finished in ruby red metallic with a mushroom interior. It has been regularly maintained by Steve Mowatt, ex-McLaren, with replaced parts and servicing documented, but it is sold as is, and bidders are advised to inspect the condition.
Condition
4
While the car has been regularly maintained and has had several parts replaced, including front discs, pads, and calipers in 2022, and spark plugs in 2024, there's no information about the current cosmetic condition of the vehicle. The listing specifies that all lots are sold 'as is' and bidders must satisfy themselves as to the condition, suggesting that there may be some wear or imperfections. Therefore, without further details, the condition is hard to assess, but likely to be around average.
