The Appeal
To this day, few cars possess the ability to traverse continents as effortlessly as Mercedes-Benz’s W220 S-Class. This S500 benefits from an impressive 302hp, delivered by a 5-litre V8 engine. Where the S500 really excels is in the cabin, where its occupants are greeted by an opulent sea of leather and wood.
The vendor reports that this S-Class drives exceptionally well and indeed, this era of S-Class was revered for its high quality construction.
The History and Paperwork
- Two previous keepers
- MOT until March 2023
- Extensive paperwork detailing service history
- Last serviced in April 2022
The vendor informs us that this Mercedes was previously owned by a member of the aristocracy who was chauffeured in the car until 2013, when it was purchased by the current owner. The mileage history demonstrates that this car has not been used a great deal in its twenty-two year life and as such it presents very well overall.
Furthermore, the vendor offers the car for sale with a comprehensive collection of MOT certificates and invoices from previous services. We are informed that the S500 has been serviced by Mercedes-Benz specialists in Glasgow during their nine year custodianship.
The current MOT displays “no advisories” and is valid until March 2023. The vendor’s private plate has recently been removed from the vehicle and so a new V5C is supplied with the car.
The Interior
- Beige leather
- High specification
We understand that this S500 was chauffeur-driven for many years and it is easy to see the appeal. The cabin of this Mercedes-Benz is clearly a very comfortable place to be and the vendor tells us that the beige leather seats remain in fine condition. We can see very little wear to the interior, suggesting that the S500 has always been cherished.
We are informed that the floor mats, headlining and boot have been very well preserved. The original toolkit remains in the boot alongside a warning triangle and alloy spare. Overall, the interior is very presentable and looks to be a wonderful place to sit and watch the scenery fly by.
As an S500, this particular example comes equipped with a number of factory options including:

The Exterior
- Elegant lines
- Good, original paint
- Smart alloy wheels
This very elegant car still looks impressive today and the vendor informs us that the bodywork is very fine. The vendor advises that, commensurate with age, there are some small marks on the driver’s side front bumper and a small amount of corrosion is visible on the lower wing and sill.
We are informed that the glass is free from scratches and chips and the original alloy wheels are in very good original condition.
The Mechanics
- 5.0-litre V8 powerplant
- Automatic transmission
- Power assisted steering
- Power assisted brakes
- Cruise control
While luxury was foremost on the minds of the W220 S-Class’s designers, we cannot ignore the presence of the almighty 5-litre, 24 valve M317 V8 that produces an impressive 302hp.
The S500 really does have a dual personality, the vendor commenting that the V8 is smooth and quiet but also effortlessly delivers a great turn of speed when required.
The air suspension fitted to the S-Class makes for a velvety ride, ensuring this is a great option for covering long distances. We're assured by the vendor that the Mercedes drives very well in all conditions and that everything works as it was intended.
Summary
Few cars are comparable with the S500, with its enviable compromise between comfort and performance.
This example presents very well and is still eminently fit for purpose as a rapid, executive express.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
