Hello All,
Do I have the only green 2001 CLK55? I have never seen another, even in photos. Bought it because of it's unusual appearence and low milage that was MB certified (19,331km / 12,082miles). Can anyone offer any info on it? Also, it has designo interior that is two tone black and gray. Is it pretty rare?

well i have seen 2 green ones here in Calgary but they were 430 and 320 models so not sure if the 55 came with that color too.

 

Unless you're talking a hybrid 55, sorry, you're not alone.

Green 430s and 320s are neither common nor rare. For AMGs, you're getting a little more unusual. Just what color (and color code) is it?

Mine is designo alanite green (008) which is a somewhat darker than British racing green. A photo would be nice - check out the Nurburgring! thread to see some shots of mine.

 

I'll post some photos by tomorrow. I'll also check VIN no.
Thx guys.

 

no need for VIN check.

just look in the door jam on one of the stickers where the VIN is. Look for a 3 digit number. that will be your paint code.

 

Green CLK, if my docs are correct, it sounds like your car was a special order vehicle. I show the standard exterior colors for a 2001 CLK designo as being designo Mocha Black (color code 033) and designo Slate Blue. In 2002, Slate Blue was dropped in favor of designo Cashmere (color code 036). Any CLK (320/430/55/coupe/cab) could be ordered with the designo package (heated seats or the K4 package were required on the 320 or 430). Of course, these were US spec options. Canada may have had their own set of rules.

 

Yeah, this is definately a Canadian car as everything is in KM's and such.

 

I've never seen a green CLK55. Actually in the last 4 years of owning my car I have only seen (in person) silver, black and maybe one white CLK55's.

 

Here is photo I took the other day. Light isn't great but you get the picture.

 

car looks great...i've seen one 209 with that green paint job...it was a 500, never seen a 55 in green...i've always been a fan of that frosty green...looks good on these vehicles, IMO...

 

maybe larger photo is better.....

 

I would guess it's "mineral green" but I'm not sure. That's the first time I've seen that color on a 55.

BTW I have seen a couple of other 208 55 CLKs in my car's designo alanite green, for sale on the German mobile.de site (there are always dozens of 55s for sale). But never in real life, and never with my "espresso" interior.

So my tender narcissistic ego still stays intact.

 

That color was available on the pre-2000 CLK320.

 

Neat look though, for sure! First one I've seen

 

It is mineral green. Just had it at Local MB dealer. They said it was special order with special order interior. Maybe it IS the only one produced like it.

 

Could be. But I don't know of any way to get Daimler info to make sure.

Special order interior? Please tell (or better yet, show) us more.

 

For model year 2002 in the U.S., the CLK (W208) was available in the following exterior colors:

Alabaster White (960)
Black (040)
Black Opal Met (189)
Bordeaux Red Met (567)
Brilliant Silver Met (744)
Capri Blue Met (359)
Firemist Red Met (548)
Laguna Green Met (810)
Magma Red (586)
Mineral Green Met (814)
Obsidian Black Met (197)
Orion Blue Met (345)
Quartz Blue Met (935)

As Marcus has mentioned above, the W208 was alao available with the Designo option: "I show the standard exterior colors for a 2001 CLK designo as being designo Mocha Black (color code 033) and designo Slate Blue. In 2002, Slate Blue was dropped in favor of designo Cashmere (color code 036). Any CLK (320/430/55/coupe/cab) could be ordered with the designo package (heated seats or the K4 package were required on the 320 or 430). Of course, these were US spec options. Canada may have had their own set of rules."

It appears there were two different greens available for the U.S. Market.

 

The interior colors were:

Solid:
Ash (218)
Charcoal (211)
Oyster (215)

Two-Tone:
Ash/Blue (222) - CLK430
Ash/Dark Ash (228) - CLK430
Charcoal/Blue (582) - CLK55
Charcoal/Charcoal (581) - CLK55
Charcoal/Red (227) - CLK430
Charcoal/Silver (588) - CLK55

Cabrio Top Colors:
Ash (749)
Black (740)
