Description
** The Mercedes W140** is a special car. At its presentation it was already described as the best car in the world and, unfortunately, in Germany it was long misunderstood. The size and presence were formidable, the stance self-assured. Such a thing easily stirs envy; overseas that wasn’t a problem, it was respected and admired there. The chassis of the 140 series was subsequently used for the upcoming Maybach range. The driving feel in a W140 is also unique and incomparable with any other Mercedes......... ** This Mercedes S 500** we bought in Spain. It is accident- and rust-free with a mileage of 147, 700 km. It is a vehicle from model year 1997, the last series, with all model-year refinements. It already features the newer 5-speed automatic gearbox, the modernised climate control, the upgraded wiring looms and much more. It fulfils the EURO 2 emission standard and can be registered in two years with a historic plate. The Azurit blue metallic paint is a special paintwork and pairs superbly with the light grey leather. The very latest S-Classes were the most reliable and are today also the most sought-after. Unfortunately many have been exported or used up, so truly good examples are now very rare. One like this we have here, it is second-hand. This Mercedes S 500 is free from any damage or issues; recently the car has been extensively serviced, it will still receive a major service from us, all wear parts have been renewed (there are quite a few of these on the W140), then it was brought to high gloss by our detailer and has received a Swissoyl sealant. A fresh MOT with full certification rounds off the package, so it can be registered immediately. If you want to own the best-built Mercedes, there is probably no alternative to the W140. It is milled from solid, it is the last Mercedes from an era when weight and quality were not spared, Mercedes back then built the best car in the world. ** List price: 154, 123 DM** ** Options** * 214 Adaptive Damping System * 241 Driver's seat left electrically adjustable with memory * 242 Driver's seat right electrically adjustable with memory * 268A Leather - Grey * 366U Azurit blue - Metallic paint * 472 Electronic Stability System (ESP) * 515 Becker Audio 10 CD (aftermarket) * 533 10 speakers front and rear * 551 Anti-theft alarm system (EDW) * 649 Light alloy wheels 5-spoke 8-hole * 731 Wood trim, burl walnut * 807 Model year 1997 (EURO 2) * 872 Heated front seats (left & right) * 873 Heated seats for driver and passenger * 883 Servotronic * Standard equipment:* * Airbags for driver and passenger * Anti-lock Braking System * Traction Control (ASR) * Front armrest * Rear armrest * Heated exterior mirrors left and right, electrically adjustable from inside or foldable and painted in body colour, with asymmetrically curved mirror glass on the driver’s side * Outside temperature indicator * Puddle lights in doors 4-way * Battery with higher capacity * Brake Assist (BAS) * Brake pad wear indicator * Tachometer * Electric windows 4-fold * Fluid level indicators for oil, water, etc. * Windscreen laminated glass * Luggage net in passenger footwell * Luggage net in boot * Front seatbelts with pretensioners * Glovebox lock * Heated rear window with timer relay * Child safety lock on rear doors * Climate control automatic * Headrests adjustable in front and rear, pneumatically tiltable in the rear * Leather steering wheel 400mm and leather gear knob * Steering column adjustable mechanically * Reading lights in the rear left and right * Utilisation of residual heat of the engine * Front fog lights and rear fog lamp * Parameter power steering with safety steering column * Park light * Radio antenna integrated in rear window including radio and loudspeaker wiring and cover for 8 speakers * Rain sensor * Heated windscreen washer jets * Front seat belts height-adjustable with comfort automatic at the rear with automatic belt height adjustment * Sidebags for driver and passenger * Occupancy detection in the passenger seat * Driver’s seat height adjustment * Sun visors with illuminated mirror * Dust filter * First-aid kit * Heat-insulating green glass all round, band-pass grey with rear window laminated glass * Warning triangle * Warning buzzer for lights off * Immobiliser recognised by AZT and TÜV with infrared remote * Central locking with interior switch * 5-speed automatic transmission * Cruise control with 30 mph limiter * 15-spoke alloy wheels 5-bolt * Front seats electrically adjustable * Additional work carried out:* * Request TÜV data sheet * Obtain full TÜV report & MOT *...
