Description

The car was delivered by the Mercedes dealership Thitussons in Värnamo to its first owner in May 1983. This owner was brand-loyal to Mercedes, drove the car sparingly over the years, and serviced it at the same dealership. While some stamps are missing in the service book, oil services were nonetheless carried out regularly, and records are noted in the book up until 1996. The owner continued to service the car even if it wasn’t stamped, and the vehicle was regularly inspected until 2013. After that, it was stored in a heated garage. He predominantly used his other Mercedes cars during this period, according to his daughter—a small two-seater convertible (probably an SLK) and an SUV. The specific model of the latter isn’t clear, but given the owner’s interest and involvement with racehorses, it's imagined that it might have been a substantial and robust G-Wagen. The latest approved inspection of the SEC was done on May 13th, 2024. The current owner, the daughter, took over the car from her mother in 2022, who in turn inherited it in 2014 from her husband.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition

    The car has been stored in a heated garage for many years, and the most recent action taken was replacing the fuel filter before starting it up. The car runs well, and the engine and transmission feel good together, but it will need a thorough maintenance check and service before it can be put to regular use.

  • Interior condition

    The car features a complete and well-maintained leather interior, and was ordered from the factory with high specifications, including adjustable air cushions in the front seats, which can be seen at the small pumps near the seat belt buckles. All electrical equipment functions flawlessly, and the air conditioning blew relatively cold during testing. Additionally, the owner had a small gold insert engraved with his initials on the gear shift knob, adding a personalized touch to the vehicle.

  • Exterior condition

    The exterior of the car is in good condition with a nice finish that seems to be the original paint. The chrome and glass are also in good shape. It's equipped with original 14-inch Baroque wheels fitted with older M+S tires. However, a luxury cruiser of this age deserves better than that. It is recommended to switch to proper summer tires from a well-known brand to ensure optimal performance and safety.

  • General condition

    One-owner car with moderate mileage in well-preserved condition, ready for a life as a collector's car with relatively simple measures needed before use.

For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
