The Attractions
One of the most popular cars in the extensive Mercedes-Benz range and certainly one of the most recognisable classics ever, the W116 is one of the most prestigious cars of the 1970s. Robust, boxy styling and powerful engines made these cars the best representatives of their era, and this is made even more evident by their unparalleled longevity. Even today they are still extremely comfortable and pleasant classics to drive.
This particular car, with its light blue bodywork and blue interior, showcases the timeless design and engineering craftsmanship of Mercedes-Benz in what is often considered its golden age. The car recently received a service at a Mercedes dealership to ensure that it runs as smoothly as when it left the factory.
