- Plenty of renewal work carried out
The Appeal
From 1968 to 1976, the W114 and W115 were Mercedes-Benz’s flagship. Nearly two million were sold in total, and they proved themselves very ably for plenty of purposes. They were durable, beautifully-built workhorses that were equally at home as Berlin taxis as they were a luxury Sunday driver.
This example, built in 1970, was originally a US market example. Imported to the Netherlands in 2014, it’s since undergone a swathe of work that leaves it in utterly superb fettle.
