This 2003 Mercedes-Benz CL55 AMG Kompressor has travelled just 103,050km and presents remarkably well for a car now more than 20 years old. Believed to have had only two private owners, it is the level of preservation and originality that really separates this example.

Under the bonnet sits AMGs legendary 5.4-litre M113K supercharged V8, producing 368kW (493hp) and 700Nm of torque, paired with a 5-speed AMG Speedshift automatic transmission driving the rear wheels. Period testing/specifications put 0100km/h at approximately 4.8 seconds serious performance even by today's standards.

The M113K has become one of the defining AMG engines of its era, combining a huge-capacity V8 with a belt-driven supercharger to deliver the effortless torque and unmistakable character these cars are known for. The CL55 also received AMG-specific braking, exhaust and styling alongside Mercedes-Benz's sophisticated Active Body Control (ABC) suspension.

What makes this particular car special, however, is its condition. The black perforated AMG leather interior presents exceptionally, with the wood trim, switchgear, upholstery and cabin details all reflecting a car that has clearly been very carefully looked after.

It even retains some fantastic period details that are so often missing today, including the original Nokia telephone in the centre console and the complete factory tool kit, fuses and accessories in the boot.

Very well optioned from new, specification highlights include:

5.4L supercharged AMG V8 368kW / 700Nm
5-speed AMG Speedshift automatic
Rear-wheel drive
Active Body Control suspension
AMG high-performance braking system
AMG sports exhaust
AMG leather interior
Heated and ventilated multi-contour front seats
Electric sunroof
COMAND infotainment/navigation
BOSE premium audio
Wood interior trim
Rare-specification Mercedes/AMG alloy wheels

Finished in silver over black leather, it is a beautifully understated specification for what was an incredibly serious performance car in its day.

At 103,050km, this isn't simply a nice surviving CL55 it is an unusually well-preserved example that still presents incredibly close to how you would expect one of Mercedes-Benz's flagship AMG coupés to have looked years ago.
