This stunning 4 door limousine has genuine low miles and is in immaculate condition throughout, having been used as a wedding vehicle no expense has been spared in its maintenance and upkeep. An excellent machine wanting for nothing.
The History and Paperwork
This is a professional limo conversion from new and is not a DIY job, a very well built machine with excellent fabrication work
It has been in service as a wedding car and as such has very low miles on the clock, only 50,403
The V5 is present, and the vehicle comes with 2 keys and the private registration is included in the sale
There is not a lot of paperwork due to the low amount of miles covered however receipts for normal servicing work carried out and MOT certificates are present
The Interior
This interior is in immaculate condition, truly stunning and clearly this car has been lovingly cared for and no expense spared in this endeavour
The drivers compartment is in excellent condition with all switches and controls in brilliant shape with very little wear anywhere to be found - it also has an electrically operated privacy partition in full working condition
Grey and Tan upholstery in stunning shape with no rips or tears with classy wood veneer and chrome trims
Everything works exactly as it should, and the lack of wear and tear throughout is very impressive. Clearly a well stored vehicle
The large passenger compartment seats 6
The Exterior
The car was originally green from new, but has been repainted in white to a very high standard, the paintwork is in exceptional overall condition
At some time the rear nearside door has been repaired to a high standard, very slight colour mismatch due to the newer paint however the visual impact is negligible
Lots of chrome trims on this fine exterior but make no mistake they are not being used to hide corrosion as is found in some cases, the chrome overarches were previously removed to inspect for corrosion and arches were found to be solid
All 4 tyres are in very good condition as are the nice original Mercedes wheels
Overall a very high quality exterior with great lengths taken to preserve it
The Mechanics
This fine limousine sports a powerful Mercedes V6 engine, instead of the more common inline 6, a very nice inclusion to this vehicle's specification
Under the body the car is overall in good operating shape, some preventative sealing of metalwork underneath would go a long way to prevent any corrosion from taking hold if regular use is planned
The car runs, drives and stops perfectly and is in brilliant mechanical condition overall and clearly has been very well cared for and serviced
Having covered very few miles, the car has needed very little work mechanically - mostly just routine servicing
Summary
Overall a very nice limousine, stunning condition and very well looked after. The perfect machine to transport guests in style and comfort, whatever the occasion! Sure to provide many years of reliable service.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
