Description
280 SLC Mercedes 1978 in Navy blue, Automatic gearbox, RHD
£14, 975 - ONO
Up for grabs is a beautiful 1978 Mercedes with a modestly sized 2. 8L engine (more fuel-efficient than the much larger 380 and 540s). A hard decision to sell, but needs-must.
High points:
1. The engine is a trooper, this will never fault. Thanks, Mercedes.
2. Smoooooooooth driving experience... The previous owner spent a small fortune re-tuning all the suspension and it's really paying off on the London speed bumps.
3. The Interior is pretty much impeccable, leatherwork, acrylic is faultless and the footwell and boot carpets are all fairly new.
4. Central locking for drivers' and passenger side doors (not the boot).
5. Four speakers connect to a Bluetooth box behind the original radio for blasting tunes cruising down the motorway or when you're stuck in traffic, straight from your phone.
6. Low mileage 36K (will add photo).
7. Comes with paperwork. She's legal and clean.
and most importantly...
NO MOT
NO Road Tax
NO ULEZ
Low points:
1. The back windows don't open. They probably just need a yank, but I don't have the nerve.
2. The indicators don't stick, so you have to hold them coming up to a turn. You get used to it and is not a hard fix, I just never got around to doing it.
3. Crack in the right headlight. The glass is stable and the crack can't grow.
4. The usual sun blemishes here and there in the paintwork. You can never escape these on old cars.
It's a gorgeous car to drive, look at and leave out on your driveway. No trade, please. Just looking for a good home. This is the ideal car for someone who wants a car they can drive away and enjoy while updating the niggly bits and making her better than ever. I'm keeping the price modest as hoping for a quick sale.
Viewing recommended: the car is located in Shoreditch E2.
