Roger Federer’s old, modest-looking Merc is for sale for £194,000.
The Swiss tennis legend owned the 2009 Mercedes-Benz CLK 63 AMG Black Series Coupé for a year.
It was delivered to Federer in July that year, the same month he won his sixth Wimbledon title.

But the 186mph, 500bhp, saloon wasn’t any family runaround.
Thanks to its AMG 6.2-litre V-8 engine it enabled the car to do 0-60mph in a hair-raising 4.2 seconds.
Only 500 were ever made and this particular model is one of only six to wear the iconic Black Series badge.
The 15-year-old Mercedes-Benz only has 2,597 miles on the clock, as reported by Luxury Auto News.
It has done just 173 miles a year on average – or less than half a mile a day.
In 2010 the vehicle was relinquished by Roger Federer and was bought eleven years later by its consigning owner.
The 42-year-old tennis star retired his racket back in 2022 leaving behind the sport which saw him win 20 grand-slam titles.
The vehicle driven by the sporting icon is now heading to auction in Gut Kaltenbrunn on Lake Tegernsee, Germany.
The Mercedes-Benz is one of 200 cars being flogged at an event hosted by RM Sotheby’s.
It has a guide price of up to £194,000.
The auction house described the car as: “With only 500 made over a three-year period from 2007, the extreme Black Series version of the Mercedes-Benz CLK 63 AMG Coupé is a highly coveted performance car.
“But this particular model has a unique ace up its sleeve in that it was delivered new to Roger Federer in July 2009, the same month that the tennis superstar won Wimbledon for the sixth time.
“A sporting legend such as Federer is sure to have appreciated the thoroughbred appeal of the Black Series’ hand-built AMG 6.2-litre V-8 engine.
“The result is blistering performance, with 0-100 km/h served in just 4.2 seconds, while a muscular body, including dramatically flared wheel arches, endows the car with a suitably menacing look.”
