This car was originally purchased by a Computer company for its Manager and was always maintained at the Mercedes dealership. The company was then transferred/ changed to another name and so was the V5 even though it still remained with the original 1 Manager and the same Mercedes dealership for servicing etc.
Then the Manager was offered a new car but he still wanted to keep the Mercedes.
When the Manager was leaving due to retirement he then purchased the car from the company he worked for and kept it maintained at Mercedes as he liked it so much. So even tho he is the '3rd owner now, he is infact still the 1st original owner.
So the X2 extra owners are just due to the different company names
I have proof of all of this in the paperwork.
He then kept it until he could drive no more due to a disability and then sold it on in 2009.
So the 1st original owner kept it from 1994 till 2009 which is 15 years.
The 2nd owner kept it from 2009 to 2012
The 3rd owner who was a Mercedes collector kept it from 2012 till 2016 till my Father bought it
My Father is the 4th owner and has owned it from 2016 up until now and its always been a great car to him. My Father personally has also spoken to the 1st and 2nd owners of the cars.
The car is currently parked up which is a shame as its a great classic Mercedes, it did have a dent below the drivers side rear pillarless glass that was repaired before hand, and that's all it was a simple dent. It's mentioned on the v5 due to its age anything as small as this is mentioned.
Also have the original 1994 v5 and other copies
Theres is literally a box full of files and paperwork
The car is currently Sorn since 2020 and without an Mot due to it being parked up because of the Pandemic lock down, it had a recent oil change and it had been fully valeted and then moved to a storage site. So currently there is no mot and it's stored on a private storage site.
The car is parked in a secure site with 24hr access and security. The roads can get dusty due to the rocky floor and that is all you can see on the car, dust. Even a simple jet wash would have the car sparkling again.
The car was always started regularly and driven in the yard, the engine is smooth and amazing, you'd honestly think it has only done 20k miles. The car glides like a magic carpet, you don't feel no bumps, nothing. It is unbelievably a smooth car like your on air.
My Father is too old to drive this car anymore, after all he is 80 years old, we did expect him to drive it once the lock down life was back to normal, but by then he preferred a smaller car, even though he totally gave up driving a few weeks ago recently. This is someone who was used to driving Jaguar E types and the Ford Granadas, Ford Capri 3100. He wasn't driving this much anyway in all the years he had it but always loved the Mercedes c124 coupe.
The steering wheel has a leather wrap added to it, what you see at the bottom of the steering wheel is the excess string which was just wrapped around instead of being cut off, i fitted this for him, it feels great, better than the original steering. It is much more comfortable and so soft, it's perfect. The centre Mercedes emblem on the steering wheel has had some chrome vinyl wrap put on which you can peel off if needs be, otherwise its just a plain black emblem mould part of the steering wheel. I don't think you will find another Mercedes as clean as this especially on the inside, or any other car that's similar age to this, but please expect general wear and tear due to its age.
The battery is now totally flat, it was a very expensive battery so it might just need a jump start and it should start up without any issues hopefully . We also disconnected the battery cables since it died , but you can easily put these back on.
Open to all sensible offers, you won't find another with this much history. As its parked up and doing nothing we think its best someone who loves it takes it and takes good car of it. It wouldn't take much to make this a great Mercedes coupe c124 and to be cruising back on the road again
The last photo's show it in the yard, and the car wash show pictures on the day it was cleaned up and parked in the yard
