"Original paint, chrome and interior in great condition. The engine starts and stops. The car needs a start-up service and a new battery because of inactivity."

Description

Swedish-sold car in the long luxury version, with the largest engine available at the time. The second finest MB in production (after the 600). Here is a design reminiscent of a car driven by a driver, such as a director's or diplomat's car, or perhaps the king during his first years. This is due to the fine dark blue paint and blue plush upholstery and all other equipment. Dual bumpers and lots of chrome and wood enhance the luxurious impression.
This particular copy is sold for a Mercedes collector's estate. He bought the car from his neighbour and friend (who also collected nice cars) in 1987 and has only driven it on solemn occasions, (according to his secretary). (The paint is untouched and original without damage. There are some stone chips above the headlights on the hood. Bumpers and other chrome parts look like new, as well as rubber seals and in the engine compartment. This is probably due to the car being in a heated garage, since new. The car has travelled 200,700 km and most of this distance before 1999 because after 1997 it has not been on the car test.
The body and chassis are free of rust, except for plastic plugs on the sills that are drilled for cavity rust protection treatment, see the pictures on the sills. At the bottom, the car looks like new.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    After 1999, the car was apparently  started on a regular basis and utilised on sombre occasions: It's been in traffic the entire time. When we checked the car, the engine started and then stopped. We haven't done any troubleshooting. This must be corrected by the buyer. The engine is supposed to operate extremely well, but be prepared to service the ignition or fuel supply.
    The exhaust system appears to be stainless steel, with a poorly sealed junction in the centre of the car (see image). The bonnet is tough to open. Only one front lock on one corner opens immediately; on the other side, one person must push down the hood while the other pulls from the inside. The photographs of the engine are absent since the photographer was unable to open the bonnet without assistance. The engine and engine compartment, on the other hand, are nearly brand new, free of dirt, rust, and oxide.

  • Interior condition:

    Super nice original interior, no traces of wear or damage. Door cards, dashboard and headliner as well. only a little wear on the floor mat on the driver's side.

  • Exterior condition:

    Straight and fine body with original paint in good condition. Needs only waxing to increase the gloss slightly.

  • General condition:

    This is actually one of the finest older pristine S-Class cars (W116) we've seen. Fantastically nice unrenovated body and interior. The above remarks and problems with hood and start are easy to fix in connection with a service. Then the car needs a new inspection/MOT. A perfect car for wedding driving, events and other festive driving. Opportunity for the discerning MB enthusiast.
