Pristine condition; FMBSH; <68k miles; MOT until 9/ 24. This is a M113 engine and the last R129 facelift model which was registered in January 1999. Exterior colour is Onyx Grey metallic with Grey Nappa leather interior. I am the 3rd owner when I bought it 2017. I have only driven the car for 2, 500 miles in six years - it's time for someone else to enjoy. Being just retired I decided to set myself a goal to make this car look as new as possible. It has been meticulously refurbished regardless of cost. When required I have replaced the tyres with Continentals.
The soft top is in perfect condition and working correctly. The windows have the Mercedes emblems on them as do the side glass windows.

During my time all MOT's and Servicing performed by local Mercedes Benz franchise. If you are looking for a pristine example, then this one is for you. Passed last MOT with flying colours, so you are covered until 29/ 09/ 2024.
Please note this car was imported and declared new at registration (as per V5C) by Independent Importer. Pre-Delivery checks and initial services were performed by Pentagon Mercedes (dealership).
For many years I have loved the shape and when I retired, I decided now was the time to spend some of my kid’s inheritance on a classic car. Many say I have OCD as I have rectified parts of the car when a lot of people would not have bothered.
