"A wonderful feel in this fine MB. No damage to the body, and the beautiful metallic paint still has a lovely shine. A classic you can easily drive 50-100 miles with without getting tired.

The car sparks desire, and the feeling is amazing when you let the 214 hp work.

"Power and precision in perfect harmony" – that's how the Mercedes-Benz advertisement described it in 1987."

Description

A truly fantastic example of the iconic Mercedes coupe. The car was originally sold in Strängnäs in 1988 and, as far as we know, has had four owners. It is well-documented with several inspection reports, and considering this and the condition of the car, the mileage is certainly accurate. The car has been driven very little in recent years. It drives like a dream—smooth, quiet, and with no rattles, making it hard to believe that the car is nearly 40 years old. If you want to cruise in style, this is the car to have.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The engine and gearbox feel tight and smooth. No strange noises or rattles. All electrical functions are in full working order. However, we do reserve judgment on the AC function, as it couldn't be tested due to the low outdoor temperature. The brakes also feel excellent, and the car tracks straight. Quality Nokian tires are mounted on the car. Both keys are included.

  • Interior condition:

    Everything is in well-maintained condition. If there is anything to mention, it would be that the front seats have a slight pilling in the Alcantara. However, it’s hardly noticeable, and the seats are otherwise in great condition. The trunk looks completely unused. A fun detail is the seatbelt assistants, which eagerly extend the seatbelt before departure.

  • Exterior condition:

    Shiny and well-maintained in both the paint and chrome. No damage, aside from a few minor scratches and stone chips. The tires are in good condition, mounted on nice rims. The glass and trim are also in great shape.

  • General condition:

    A solid, well-maintained MB with low mileage. If you're looking for a truly nice MB from the 1980s, this car is definitely worth recommending.

Facts about the model

The new S-Class was introduced in the fall of 1979. The focus now shifted to low air resistance and better fuel efficiency compared to its predecessors. Technically, the car was an evolution of the W116. On the V8 versions, the engine blocks were made of aluminum, unlike the W116 which had cast iron blocks.

In 1986, the cars were updated with a refreshed body and modified engines. Among other changes, the new six-cylinder engines from the W124 were introduced. The equipment list was longer than that of the W116, with anti-lock brakes available from the start, and airbags introduced in the fall of 1981. Also, gas-hydraulic suspension, following the classic Citroën design, was available on the 500-560SEL models. This provided increased ride comfort, the ability to adjust ground clearance, and from 1986, with adjustable damping from inside the cabin, body lowering at speeds over 120 km/h, and a system to reduce body roll during cornering. A mercury pearl moved when the car rolled, guiding the hydraulic pressure to each shock absorber via electric solenoids.

  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends.
