A C140, the coupé version of the W140 “Cathedral” S-Class. At the time it was the very best Mercedes-Benz could offer you and especially in this guise. Our car is the 600 CL version. This large coupé has a 6.0 litre V12 petrol engine producing 394 Ps and 570 Nm of torque. The power is delivered to an automatic 4-speed gearbox. The engine is really a masterpiece, the absolute embodiment of Mercedes-Benz’s “Das beste oder nichts” slogan. In 1994 you tended to order a CL600 if you were concerned your neighbour would go for the V12 and you would look a little inferior with your V8 CL500 on the drive. Once the owner of a mighty V12 CL600 you would look down on people with a “paltry” CL500.

Our car is a magnificently assembles 1994 CL600. When new it was supplied in Marbella, Spain and looking at the mileage it would appear it hardly ever left the city limits. The car is as clean as a whistle. This good condition is down to a combination of the loving care lavished by the owner, good maintenance, garaging and its low mileage of only 56,210 km. That is less than 2,000 km per annum. That low mileage is even more surprising if you consider what a pleasure is travel in a C140 CL600. The seats are fantastic, the suspension filters out any road bumps and the V12 is very powerful at any RPM despite the car weighing over 2 tonnes.

The bodywork is in splendid condition. It has nice and thin, correctly aligned panelwork. Considering its age the paintwork has held up really well with only a few minor blemishes. The interior trim is pristine. Top quality leather material was used to fabricate the seating. All instruments and controls were made to last forever and work conversely. As you would expect this S-Class coupé lacks nothing in the luxury and comfort department. The car has a sunroof, climate control, electrically adjustable seats with memory function, electric windows, cruise control and a sunblind for the rear window.

The 6.0 V12 is only just run in and what a glorious engine it is. The automatic 4-speed transmission shifts extremely smoothly as befitting such a luxurious vehicle. The car drives fantastically and still impresses with its power and finesse.

The car comes with a complete car wallet with service booklet. This car is also an interesting preposition for business use as it qualifies for the Youngtimer scheme. In short a “Cathedral” of a CL600 coupé for less money than a basic mid range executive car. We think there is no doubt that you too would choose “Das beste oder nichts”!
