"A classic, both as a Mercedes and as a Mellberg build, and perhaps with a little more status in Sweden than abroad, even if Mellberg's reputation was found outside the country's borders."

"A classic, both as a Mercedes and as a Mellberg build, and perhaps with a little more status in Sweden than abroad, even if Mellberg's reputation was found outside the country's borders."

Description

It was sold new as a coupe in March 1980. During the winter season of 1988/89, Mellberg created this build which has had four owners since then. The current owner took over the car from her deceased husband. They bought it barely three years ago and had time to enjoy this fine Mercedes convertible on the open summer roads in Skåne. Now some of the cars in the collection are to be sold including this unique W123 cabriolet. The car is currently not inspected or approved as the vacuum control for locking the folding of the backrest does not work. The owner has chosen to sell the car as is and it will be up to the new owner to remedy this.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The 2.8 litres straight six with double overhead camshafts sounds and runs fine as it should together with this classic automatic gearbox. Nice working brakes.

  • Interior condition:

    Stylish, clean and fresh leather interior with nice carpets and a nice bright headliner on the convertible top. The GPS display is glued on the dashboard and the owner has chosen to leave it on for the new owner to remove it.

  • Exterior condition:

    Good paint that has held up well since the rebuild. The convertible top opens and closes nicely but has a small tear and the white dots that are easy to wash off. Time-typical accessories with chromed wing edges and wire wheels in good condition.

  • General condition:

    A classic in good and user-friendly condition.

Facts about the model

Leif Mellberg var en bilbyggarhjälte i Sverige som var som mest produktiv på åttiotalet. Det tyngsta uppdraget var nog att vara delaktig i SAAB:s fullt körbara och sportiga konceptbil EV1. Andra kända skapelser är till exempel en måsvinge-SAAB, Volvo 760 cabriolet och en SAAB Speedster. De två senare byggde han för tidningen Teknikens Värld.

Auction information

General information about the condition of the vehicles .
  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. 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.
Important to know before placing your bids!
  • Once you have called in an item and the reservation price is reached we want you to deposit the entire purchase amount into our client funds account before retrieval can take place.
  • When you need to retrieve a called in object we want you to examine it carefully. If you consider that the item does not match our description you do not need to complete the purchase. In this case the deposited purchase sum and the entry fee are refunded.
  • If you do not examine the item on the spot the call charge will be debited, but you do not have to complete the deal.
  • If you make the entire purchase exclusively at a distance you have 14 days to cancel, but must return the item at your own expense.
  • Your shipping costs and other costs are not reimbursed when the right of withdrawal is exercised. Swedish court applies.
