CL 420 - info required

[rhymneyboy]

Hi all

I've seen a 1997 CL 420 for sale and I have looked for reviews of this model with no success.

Does anyone know where I can get reviews? Also, does anyone know the MB model number for this car? And more importantly, the bhp?

cheers!

Got a 1994 Autocar roadtest of a S420, same engine, but in saloon form. Spec is. BHP 286, Torque 302 lb/ft, Max speed 144 and 0-60 in 8.4. Merc was up against a BMW 740i and a Audi A8 4.2. Merc was overall winner and came out best in the following categories. Brakes, Handling, Ride, Build Quality and Noise.

Here's an owners review on the Parkers website:

that was the only thing I could find.

Thanks for the above folks - much appreciated!

Does anyone know the MB model number/code?

Model No is W140. This covers both saloon and coupe. Originally badged as SEC until about 1993 when they were rebadged as S/CL. They replaced the much loved W126 in 1991/92
