Transmission: 4 Speed Auto Petrol
Current Speedometer Reading: 238,000

Current V5: YES
Location: PICKERING
You can view from: Monday 21 August - Thursday 31 August 2023

Current V5 present. Paperwork includes owner's manuals, a service book containing 21 stamps, a current MOT certificate, and a large file of invoices for work that has been carried out.

The vendor has supplied the following:

I have owned this car from new and it has been maintained throughout its life to a very high standard. I thought that I would be able to cherish it forever but for personal reasons no longer have the wherewithal to do so.

The logbook shows two previous owners, but they are all me. I originally bought the car through my company, transferred it to my personal account when i moved on to another role and finally transferred it to my wife's name a couple of years ago to stop her going on at me to sell it because it is too big for our needs ect! The last move did the trick by the way for those who might face similar problems. I know and have genuinely enjoyed every single mile this car has traveled throughout its entire life.

The car is being sold with a 12-month MOT that has no advisories and with it having just undergone a full service, both carried out on 2 August 2023. There are several spare parts ect. that i have bundled together as part of the package for whomever buys it.

This car drives beautifully and has obvious admirers on the open road. The MOT emissions report included perhaps helps to demonstrate how clean and fresh this car runs.

My desire is for the car to go to someone who will appreciate this iconic Mercedes for what it is.

Officially it is now a Classic having passed its 25th Birthday on 5th August and I firmly believe that over time combined with continued TLC it has the potential to become an appreciating asset in the right hands.

Do not be deceived by its 239,000 mileage because its comprehensive whole life 'no money spared' maintenance service record coupled with the complete engine rebuild carried out at 229,000 together with the front suspension overhaul puts it way ahead of most.
