Background
The 208-series Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class is a two-door grand touring car. It has two variants, a coupé (C208) which was produced by Mercedes-Benz in Bremen from 1997 until 2002, and a convertible (A208) which was assembled by Karmann in Osnabrück from 1998 until 2003. Based upon the 202-series C-Class launched three years prior, the 208 series replaced the two-door variants of the Mercedes-Benz W124 and is the first generation of the CLK-Class. 233,367 coupés and 115,161 convertibles were produced, and it was succeeded by the 209-series CLK-Class in 2002.
