A 4-door "coupe" taking the spot of a real coupe. How stupid is that.

CLK-GTR has absolutely nothing to do with the road going CLK besides the name. They could have called it the S-GTR and it would have as much in common with S class.

Once started, bidding just carried on until the coupé sold for £522,500 (Est. £390,000 – 450,000) and the roadster £616,000 (Est. £430,000 – 500,000).
and this is stunning too…

It took just five lots before the venue was buzzing with the news that the 1969 Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman Landaulet (Est. £40,000 – 60,000) had finally sold for a jaw-dropping £308,000. It might well end up back at the Mercedes factory for a complete (possibly 1m euros...) restoration.
