What is it? Cool Merc

Post by FaisalJ » Tue Apr 19, 2016 1:38 pm

Excuse the ignorance of all things with a 3-pointed star. Spotted this thing while getting lunch near work - looks incredible in person, but I have no idea what it is!

CLK black? (Although I thought they were only the older shape?)

Is this just a bodykit?

It's a Black. I've only seen them in left-hookers. Clarkson ran one for a bit. Shook all of his fillings loose.

Hmmm, I'm not sure if Clarkson ran one now, maybe it was a CLK Black he had. Either way, tooth fillings were dislodged IIRC.

Yeah I think you are right about him having a CLK Black... or C63 Black?

I just read a quick review, only got a 5 speed auto, more expensive the a Ferrari 599, it understeers, and is slower to 60 than my Audi (but it will hit 199mph).

Yeah, it don't make much sense but it's so cool that Merc made it.

Mr Clarkson used to drive CLK black, had an sl55 amg prior then an slk 55 although that might have been Francine his then wife, used to live in Chippy, the better half and I once went to the lido auction where he was the auctioneer, which sounded great but we couldn't afford anything at all! I think the day in a db9 went for 5k alone!
