This beautiful and elegant luxury classic car (W108 series) is powered by the extremely efficient 2.8 litre M130 straight - six engine, with the smooth 4 speed automatic transmission to aid effortless driving.(Automatic Transmission was an optional extra at the time) Supplied new in 1972 to a dealership in surrey, the car has been cherished and very well looked after all its life.
There is a reassuringly large file of documentation with this Mercedes - Benz, including the original service book showing stamps from from the supplying dealership in Farnham in the early 70s, also the original handbook, and manual for the Blaupunkt radio. (The car has an electric Ariel) As well as other documentation and receipts. There are 3 keys with the car.
As you approach the car you will see optional Ivory coloured steering wheel, a tasteful item that really compliments the interior. 
All the instrumentation and interior lighting is working like it should, and the heating and ventilation is also in excellent working order.

This Mercedes is finished in the very attractive colour of horizon blue, with a cream coloured interior, giving a bright and airy ambience inside this classic Mercedes Benz. The interior is in lovely  original condition. 
With only 4 previous owners during its 52 year cosseted life, it is a credit to its previous owners. 
(Its amazing to realise this car has averaged less that 2000 miles a year during it's lifetime)
The car is a real pleasure to drive, it pulls well through the gears and is extremely comfortable and dependable, it starts first time no matter how long it has been stood. Stopping for petrol is social occasion as the car attracts  a lot of attention where ever it goes.
This delightful Mercedes is going to give its next owner a great deal of enjoyment.

Update!!  I have taken more photo's as requested showing the boot and boot well as well as the engine bay, also photo's of  any paint blemishes. After having another close look at the car this morning the underside and boot well are in remarkably good condition, also zoom in and note the condition of the inner wings in the engine compartment they are also in great condition. This is a very sound and solid car. (The site wont let me remove the old photo's apologies for that.)

NOTE: I've had to re list this lovely car due to the winning bidder cancelling his bid within minutes of the end of the auction.

Please only bid on this car if you have a genuine desire to own it, and have the means to do so. Thank you
