* On the last service by Geyfords the speedometer was replaced due to a faulty trip recorder, the original speedometer has been kept safely and there is a letter from the dealer confirming the mileage and date of replacement.
Due to ill health and subsequent retirement from driving, the car was used sparingly between 2003 and 2008, covering only 4, 500 miles and was sold to its second owner in May 2008.
The second owner has enthusiastically maintained the car to a very high standard and there are invoices in the vehicle history file to support. As you can see from the MOT history, there has been very few advisories with corrective measures taken where applicable.
This is an extremely original and un-molested car that has clearly been very well cared for and maintained throughout its 31 years by its two careful owners. The attractive Midnight Blue paintwork is in very good condition and most importantly, totally corrosion free.
Please check the MOT VOSA history to gain insight into how well the car has been cared for.
As a result of the car being garaged all its life, the interior is virtually flawless with the dashboard free from cracks. The instrument dial needles void from any fading. There are the original ribbed Mercedes floor mats fitted all around and underneath the carpets are as new. The sliding and tilting sunroof functions perfectly along with the electric windows and central locking.
There are 3 keys with the car and the MOT is valid until 22nd September, 2022.
I am based just outside of Winchester in Hampshire, 10 minutes from M3 Junction 9.
Please call if you would like to discuss in more detail.
