"Safe and stable on the road by the standards of the past, and even today it is a solid – and somewhat leisurely – driving experience."

Description

It was delivered to its first owner in August 1979, and by 1992 the current owner's uncle had purchased the Merc. According to reports, the uncle meticulously cared for the car, performing maintenance himself in the later years. Not all documentation has been found in the home of the previous owner. It might be found eventually, but not at the moment. The latest approved inspection was carried out on September 30, 2024, and the next time in 2027 will be the last as the car will be approved in 2029 when it turns 50 years old and thus becomes exempt from inspection.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The car's documentation is not found; it is likely (or most probably) at the home of the current owner's relative. Reportedly, the service and maintenance have been excellently maintained throughout the time as the owner was a man interested in this. A permanently installed powerful engine lighting and a holder in the space for carburetor oil for the Stromberg carburetor suggest a careful approach to the car's care.

  • Interior condition:

    Inviting and nice interior, the previous owner has had seat covers on since the nineties. Carpets, headliner, and door panels are in the same great condition. Two original keys and a couple of extras, and the vacuum-operated central locking works well.

  • Exterior condition:

    Newly polished and nice finish. The car was repainted in the mid-nineties, at which time four factory-new doors were also installed. Bodycoat down on both rear fenders at the back, but they don't seem to hide any damage. Bubbles on the right front fender down towards the sill (photo). Older studless winter tires with good tread are currently mounted, no summer tires are included.

  • General condition:

    Well-maintained high-mileage Mercedes in a presentable and attractive condition with no immediate action needed. However, we would like to emphasize the recommendation not to drive with winter tires on warm summer asphalt.

  • 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.
