Description

1997 Mercedes-Benz E280 Auto – 32k Miles

* Provenance: 1 previous owner; first service at 5, 909 miles.
* Storage: 20 years in dry storage—completely rust-free and in excellent condition.
* Mileage: 32, 353 original miles.
* Restoration: Comprehensive mechanical overhaul completed between 2022 and today.

Full Description:
This 1997 Mercedes-Benz E280 is a rare survivor. While most W210 E-Classes suffered from corrosion, this vehicle’s 20-year "hibernation" in a dry garage preserved the bodywork and chassis beautifully. It is a genuine 100% rust-free example with very good paintwork.
From July 2022 the car underwent mechanical recommissioning to ensure it drives as perfectly as it looks.
Work Carried Out Since July 2022:
* Fresh oil change
* Charging & Electrical: New Bosch alternator and a brand new battery.
* Cooling System: New water pump and all-new hoses fitted, coolant flush,
* Braking System: New discs and pads all around.
* Mechanicals: Full check-over to ensure the 2. 8L engine and auto box are as smooth as they were in 1997.

The interior is a time machine—pristine, unworn, and reflecting the incredibly low mileage. It offers the classic "over-engineered" Mercedes feel that is impossible to find in modern cars.
Engine on idle is that quiet that you are not going to know if is running or not. Gearbox selects gears perfectly
Viewing highly recommended.
