"A nice Mercedes that runs excellently and has undergone a thorough inspection by the owner, who intended to use it as a reliable summer car."

Description

The current owner, a dedicated Mercedes enthusiast, bought the car three years ago with the intention of using it as a reliable summer car. Therefore, he has invested quite a bit in it to ensure trouble-free driving – see the owner’s comments.

However, he came across a Mercedes 560 SEL last autumn that he prefers to use as his summer car, and therefore has decided to sell this one.

Owner's comment

The hydraulic self-levelling suspension has been removed and converted to conventional shock absorbers, which required new front spring seats. New springs and shock absorbers have been installed. New fuel filter, new distributor cap, new rotor and new ignition cables. The automatic transmission has been flushed and filled with new oil. New fuel pump, new stainless-steel exhaust system, new fuel lines, new brake discs, new brake calipers, new brake pads and new brake lines. New radiator, new condenser (A/C), new thermostat, new timing chain, new engine bearings and new piston rings. The cylinder head has been resurfaced and fitted with new head gaskets and new valve cover gaskets. New spark plugs, oil and filter. The car still has its original paint, but the trunk lid has been repainted. Interior: refurbished parcel shelf, new headliner and new carpet set. New Blaupunkt rear speakers (2 × 180 W). A new Blaupunkt “Bremen” stereo in the 1986 style has been installed, but in a modern version with Bluetooth, etc. Unfortunately the central locking does not work, but otherwise everything functions, including the cruise control and air conditioning. The car has been updated to be used as a “daily driver” from March to October, but another project got in the way…
