A Mercedes CL600 previously owned by former England captain and recently-named Blackburn Rovers manager Paul Ince is for sale on Auto Trader.

Newly-appointed Blackburn Rovers boss Paul Ince bought the 2003 Mercedes CL600 and had the luxury coupe fitted with optional 19-inch AMG alloy wheels and keyless start.

This pushed the price of Paul Ince’s Mercedes CL600 from £97,000 to a £100,490 – and now the five-year old model is on the market for just £22,995.

Paul Ince has become the tenth England captain to have a former car appear on Auto Trader.

Over the past two years we’ve featured four of David Beckham and Steven Gerrard’s old cars, two of Rio Ferdinand and Michael Owen’s and one-apiece for Alan Shearer, Tony Adams, Peter Shilton, David Platt and Robbie Fowler.

And while he is yet to captain England, Wayne Rooney’s old Aston Martin Vanquish is currently on the market.

Standard features on the Paul Ince’s luxury coupe include full leather seats, sat-nav, TV, DVD player with twin rear LCD screens, air-conditioning, electric rear blinds, cruise control and an adjustable sports suspension.

And the Merc’s high level of luxury is matched by its tarmac-shredding performance.

The Mercedes is fitted with a twin-turbocharged 5.5-litre V12 engine producing 500bhp and 391lb/ft of pulling power.

This accelerates the German coupe from 0-62mph (100kph) in 4.9 seconds before hitting an electronically-governed top speed of 155mph.

Footballer Paul Ince has been making headlines the whole of his career.

The cousin of British boxing legend Nigel Benn, Ince started his career at West Ham before controversially moving to Manchester United in 1989.

Ince – nicknamed the Guv’nor – made a name for himself at Old Trafford and also had spells at Italian outfit Inter Milan and United’s bitter rivals Liverpool.

Midfielder Paul Ince was also the first black footballer to captain his country and, after his appointment at Blackburn, he is the Premier League’s first black British boss with many commentators viewing at him as a future England manager.

Paul Ince’s old Mercedes – which has covered 74,000 miles and has a full Mercedes service history – is for sale with Halifax-based Chequered Flag Sales for £22,995.
