Description
The Mercedes-Benz C140 S600 Coupe represents one of the finest grand touring cars ever produced by Mercedes-Benz and is widely regarded as one of the last truly over-engineered vehicles from the marque's golden era. Combining timeless pillarless coupe styling, exceptional build quality and the legendary 6. 0-litre M120 V12 engine, the C140 was developed without compromise and remains one of the most impressive luxury coupes of the 1990s.
Offered here is an exceptionally well-preserved 1995 Mercedes-Benz S600 Coupé, finished in elegant Azurite Blue Metallic over Beige leather, a sophisticated and increasingly sought-after colour combination. The car is fitted with a genuine original AMG body kit, consisting of AMG front and rear bumpers and side skirts manufactured by AMG (HWA), complemented by 18-inch AMG Aero II Monoblock wheels by BBS.
Originally delivered new in Italy in 1995, this left-hand-drive example spent most of its life in Japan before being re-imported to Europe in 2020. As a result, the underside remains remarkably clean and completely rust-free, something that is becoming increasingly difficult to find on C140 models today.
The car has been in the ownership of one enthusiast since its return to Europe and forms part of a private collection. The current mileage of 135, 000 km is supported by a full Japanese vehicle history report including Japanese Transport Registration Records and Japanese Auction Records. These independent records verify the authenticity of the odometer reading.
This car has received extensive preventative maintenance, with tens of thousands of euros invested over the last five years.
Major works include:
• Complete rebuild of both upper and lower engine wiring looms using modern heat-resistant wiring
• Fully reconditioned automatic gearbox
• Replacement valve cover gasket
• New crankshaft seal
• New water pump
• New European-specification headlamps
• Replacement of both hydro-accumulators
• Rear brake discs, pads and calipers renewed
• Extensive maintenance to the ADS suspension system
• Soft-close system maintained
• Air conditioning system serviced
• Electrical systems maintained
In addition, numerous further maintenance and improvement works have been carried out to ensure the vehicle performs and presents to a very high standard. All work is documented within the history file and supported by invoices and records.
The paintwork has undergone professional machine polishing and has been ceramic coated to preserve its finish. The beige leather interior has been carefully treated and maintained and remains in excellent condition throughout.
Finding a rust-free, well-documented M120-powered C140 is becoming increasingly difficult. Finding one with independently verified mileage history, documented maintenance and the major mechanical work already completed is rarer still. For collectors and enthusiasts seeking one of Mercedes-Benz's most iconic flagship coupes, this represents a rare opportunity to acquire a highly sorted example of a model that is becoming increasingly recognised as a modern classic.
European transport can be arranged.
