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 :thumbs:

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.

[shimmy]

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.

Thanks Chris, but pity that either would take considerable investment to move into. Just goes to show how undervalued the CSL still is IMO

How come Digi? Not driven one, but I got the impression these were a proper animal of a car. Please don't tell me they're a bit dull!

[shane@mbtech]

They're far from dull.

I have been looking myself, but I'm too poor for one.

[CraigMillwardCroft]

Very nice that is the first Merc that I would consider having :thumbs:

[DazBlackCSL]

Yup there lovely .. C63 Blk though would be my choice..

I quite like those SL Blacks too, but if we're upping the ante then I'll have one of these instead please

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 :whistle:

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..
