Anglia Car Auctions

With a low mileage of 68,763 miles, this Nautic Blue example of one of the most resilient Mercedes-Benzes ever built has been well-looked after by its three owners. One owner even went so far to keep a pocket book of its adventures, starting in 2004 at 25,502 miles, and continuing through to 2010 and 43,949 miles. This included all stops for petrol and any maintenance carried out, with an overall 29mpg being noted, The vendor comments that the car has 'nice, straight bodywork' and is also 'excellent underneath'. The history folder includes 16 MoTs dating back to 2004, with the latest expiring in June 2022. There's also an extensive collection of tax discs and a write-up of the car's life; it was originally supplied new to a director of a stainless steel company in the West Midlands, who kept it until 1990, covering just 20,000 miles. But, when he retired, he took the car with him and kept it until 2004, albeit only taking the mileage up to 25,000. It then went to the owner who kept such a detailed notebook of its travels. Over the 10 years of his custodianship, he only added an additional 20,000 miles. Both owners reputedly kept the car in spacious, heated garages and regularly cleaned and polished it. There was also conscientious servicing as and when the car needed it. It was purchased by its last registered owner in 2017 from an independent classic Mercedes specialist. All invoices from 2004 onwards are present and correct. Recent bills are for new tyres in 2016 and 2018, and an exhaust centre section in 2018. The last service on record was in August 2019 at 68,000 miles. Four registered owners. PLEASE SEE BELOW FOR VIDEO PRODUCED 6TH AUGUST BY ACA OF THIS CAR.
