So could it mean i have a CL500 but bored out and refitted to look like a CL55?

In my eyes it is a proper cl55.

When im at work tomorrow i will find out the correct details of the vehicle ie engine to chassis number and see what i come up with

617 headlamps and fog lamps or additional high beam light, amber, and additional halogen fog lamp (from april 1st, 1970); additional turn signal lamps for italy, and rear turn signal lamps, orange
xenon headlight asymmetric, left driving traffic (с 01.03.1994)

617 = Xenon headlamps, Lefthand traffic

No mention of the rest. Your definition looks like a generic decode.

The official MB sales designation is CL500

Davis810 - you say it has full service history, do you have the service book?

Good point :D:D I wonder when that was issued, the dates of the first service should say a lot, and with who did it

i must point out that the engine number in his V5 - 113 986 - IS A CL55AMG ENGINE.

the exhaust is correct for a non supercharger car.

if the O/P confirms the engine is stamped according to the number in the V5 then this has all been rather a storm in a teacup................
