This 2005 Mercedes-Benz CLK350 Elegance Cabriolet (A209) is finished in special-order DESIGNO Sea Blue metallic (026U), paired with a Beige Nappa leather interior (805A) and contrasting dark fabric soft-top. Built in 2005, the vehicle has travelled 146,463 kilometres from new and represents a well-specified and increasingly hard-to-find example of Mercedes-Benz’s refined four-seat convertible.
Delivered new by McIntosh of Mosman Mercedes-Benz, the car was serviced by the supplying dealer up to 119,000km, before continuing its maintenance life with independent specialists. The service history reflects long-term ownership and regular care, and the car presents as a well-looked-after example rather than a tired or neglected one.
The DESIGNO Sea Blue exterior is an elegant and uncommon choice, offering a subtle yet distinctive appearance that suits the CLK Cabriolet’s proportions particularly well. Paired with the Beige Nappa leather and Elegance trim, it creates a classic, understated specification that feels both timeless and appropriately luxurious.
Factory Options & Equipment
In addition to the standard Elegance specification, this example is equipped with a strong list of desirable factory features, including:
The car presents very well overall, with paintwork that retains good depth and gloss and an interior that has clearly been cared for. The Beige Nappa leather remains in good condition, the Burl Walnut trim is well preserved, and the dashboard and switchgear present neatly. The soft-top operates smoothly and seals correctly, reinforcing the impression of a car that has been maintained with attention rather than simply run into the ground.
Performance & Drivetrain
Power comes from Mercedes-Benz’s proven 3.5-litre naturally aspirated V6, producing 200kW, paired with the smooth 7G-TRONIC automatic transmission driving the rear wheels. Performance is effortless and refined, with strong mid-range torque and relaxed cruising ability. The M272 V6 is well regarded for its smoothness and longevity when serviced correctly, making it well suited to the CLK’s touring-focused character.
Summary
The A209 CLK Cabriolet is increasingly appreciated for its elegant design, solid build quality and traditional Mercedes-Benz engineering. This example stands out due to its special-order DESIGNO colour, desirable factory options, and long-term, documented service history. It represents an appealing opportunity for buyers seeking a properly specified, well-presented Mercedes-Benz convertible that remains usable, comfortable and timeless.
