WE HAVE INVESTED A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF TIME AND MONEY ON THIS VEHICLE OVER THE LAST YEAR UNDER THE STEWARDSHIP OF MARTYN MARROCCO CLASSIC MERCEDES BENZ RESTORER OF MALTON, NORTH YORKSHIRE. MARTYN IS ACTIVELY INVOLVED WITH THE MERCEDES BENZ OWNERS CLUB ON BOTH A PERSONAL AND BUSINESS LEVEL. WHAT HE DOESN'T KNOW ABOUT CLASSIC BENZ REALLY ISN'T WORTH KNOWING!

THIS IS SUCH A FANTASTIC ENDORSMENT OF JUST HOW DURABLE AND RELIABLE THE DRIVETRAIN IS ON ALL 70'S/ 80'S MERCEDES-BENZ.
SERVICE HISTORY/ OWNERSHIP:
THE MAIN REASONS WE CHOSE TO PURCHASE THIS BEAUTIFUL W114 (OTHER THAN THE LOOKS!) WAS THE FACT THAT IT HAD ONLY HAD 5 OWNERS OVER ITS 46 YEAR LIFE, THE LAST OWNING IT FOR SOME 23 YEARS.
ALSO THE FACT THAT IT HAD SUCH A WONDERFUL, DOCUMENTED HISTORY MAKES IT AN EXTREMELY ATTRACTIVE PROPOSITION.
WE ARE IN POSSESSION OF ALL THE ORIGINAL MANUALS/ SERVICE BOOKS AND A LARGE AMOUNT OF MAIN DEALER INVOICES FOR VARIOUS WORKS CARRIED OUT OVER ITS LIFE.
THE SERVICE BOOK BOASTS A TOTAL OF 27 STAMPS WITH ALL BUT TWO OF THESE BEING DONE AT THE SAME FRANCHISED MERCEDES-BENZ MAIN DEALER – CHARLES SIDNEY, BRADFORD.
THE DISPLAYED MILEAGE OF 54000 WILL IN FACT BE 154000 AS MERCEDES ODOMETERS OF THE SEVENTIES ONLY HAD 5 DIGITS RATHER THAN SIX ON MORE MODERN CARS – THE SERVICE HISTORY DISPLAYS THIS TO BE THE CASE ALSO.
BODYWORK/ CONDITION:
THE PAINT FINISH ON THIS CAR IS ABSOLUTELY EXEMPLARY AS YOU WOULD EXPECT BEING FINISHED BY A RESTORATION SHOP FAMED FOR THEIR WORK ON CLASSIC MERCEDES. WE HAVE RETAINED ALL OF THE ORIGINAL TRIM AND EXTERIOR BRIGHTWORK THANKFULLY AS MANY ITEMS ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE IN THE M-B NETWORK. LARGELY THE TRIM AND CHROMEWORK IS IN VERY GOOD ORDER BUT THERE IS SOME LIGHT PITTING ON CLOSE INSPECTION.
INTERIOR:
THE INTERIOR IS A TRUE TESTAMENT TO GERMAN BUILD QUALITY AT ITS VERY BEST. EVERYTHING FITS AS IT SHOULD, THERE ARE NO CRACKS TO THE DASHBOARD OR ANY OF THE DOORCARDS, MB TEX SEATS OR INTERIOR TRIM. THE ORIGINAL PERIOD RADIO IS PRESENT ALSO. THE FACT THAT THIS CAR HAS BEEN DRY STORED FOR THE LAST 15 YEARS UNDER A COVER HAS REALLY HELPED PRESERVE THE INTERIOR ALSO.
