The most recent owner purchased this Mercedes from ourselves last year and has enjoyed it for over 3, 000 miles. A somewhat fastidious gentleman, he took the car to Paul Sumner (ex- Roger Edwards and Mercedes supremo) and had the suspension removed and completely overhauled. This included powder coating the main elements, while replacing many components with new items. This was carried out with the goal of making the car drive and ride as close to new as possible. The expenditure didn't stop there, he had a period Becker Mexico installed, fitted a new old stock white steering wheel, 4 new M-B hubcaps and fitted a set of Coco Mats. Needles to say we are delighted to have her back in stock again.
Only 5 former register keepers from new and presented in remarkably original condition. Comes complete with toolkit, first aid kit, maintenance booklet, all handbooks, even the original Eyebury Motors tax disc holder is still present. An exceptionally well preserved example.
