SUMMARY
Originally supplied by Drake & Fletcher Mercedes, Maidstone, this S500 was ordered by the owner of a Print Facing company as the business was doing rather well. He ordered it in May 1995, and collected it from the factory in the July of that year. All documentation relating to this, including details of the flights, hotel stays and even the return Eurotunnel bookings are detailed in the vehicles extensive history file which documents its entire life. This file starts with the original order form documenting the £65, 768. 57 price tag, which back in 1995 would have bought you a rather nice house back then.
I've owned this beautiful, and somewhat unique car since 2018, and have decided I wanted to sell it several times, and changed my mind as I'll never find another like it, but I've hardly used it and probably spent more time cleaning it!.
The W140 is starting to come into its own now, as its widely regarded by many in the know to be the most thoroughly engineered car of all time, and another Sacco masterpiece. Its one of those cars that looks better now, than it did when it was launched.
THE MTSV DIFFERENCE
Unlike some, I don’t just simply go out, buy any old car, give it a good clean, then advertise it for more than the purchase price, disregarding any issues the car may have in the hope the new buyer won’t notice…I just couldn’t do that. The cars I source are carefully selected and I work very hard so that when my cars leave me, I have the satisfaction of knowing they are as good as they possibly can be within the constraints I have. As such I have many repeat customers and new customers that have been recommended via word of mouth…the ultimate accolade for anyone in business.
Any other questions, please feel free to contact me. I'm a firstly and foremostly a true car enthusiast of many, many years, and a Mercedes Club Member, so it's a pleasure to meet and speak to like-minded people.
Finally, I'm situated in Keighley, West Yorkshire (Postal Code Area BD21) which is approximately 11 miles from Skipton, and 20 miles West of Leeds.
All major debit/ credit cards accepted.
