Project car: 1989 Mercedes-Benz 420 SEL with V8, 4. 2 liter engine producing 322 HP (236. 992 KW), only 90, 000 miles! This S Class classic Mercedes was driven and technically fine until 2020 when it was parked for long term. In 2019 it successfully passed MOT in England, it was in great shape then technically. Since 2020 the car was not started and does not start / run now. Needs engine + other fixing or full restoration (what I would recommend). British registered car. We started rebuilding this car, however, our Mercedes mechanic is now leaving the UK and we decided to offer it to the market so that this unique car can be fixed / rebuilt and hit the road again asap. The body, bottom is in great shape for its years, interior needs some fixing, sowing driver's seat crack. Almost no rust anywhere, engine rotates which means whatever problem it has is fixable. Most body parts need respraying. Driver's seat also needs to be fixed / replaced. I will answer questions and send additional photos / videos via official correspondence.
