From as little as £1,500 for a useable example, and approximately £4,000 for a really good one, the first generation Mercedes CLK 320 (W208, A208) is well worth considering as a bargain convertible, that may just be an emerging modern classic.

Join me in this video where I'll take this excellent example of an CLK 320 for a drive and talk you through what it's like to drive, what to look for if you're thinking about buying one, and why I think they're not as popular as they possibly should be.
