The Appeal
If it's luxury you're after, this long-wheelbase V8-engined W221 S Class has it in spades. This Merc's opulent cabin is a lovely place to spend a few hours as you skim across continents.
Our 2010 example has just 5,475 miles under its belt. It has been carefully maintained as an investment piece, stored in a specialist underground facility in London, with regular engine starting and mechanical maintenance to ensure mechanical health during its period of limited use.
The vehicle presents an opportunity to acquire a well-preserved S-Class that has received recent attention, including a full service, MOT, and new tyres in 2023.

This sale is subject to the Car & Classic Terms and Conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also agree to the following:
✓ The seller is registered as a private seller which means consumer rights stemming from EU consumer protection law do not come into effect. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic’s own Terms and Conditions..
✓ We request that a non-refundable fee be paid if you are the lucky winning bidder at auction or if your offer is accepted Please refer to our helpful FAQs and T&Cs for specific rates.

✓ VAT is included in the buyer's fee. VAT may or may not be included in the final bid or offer price, as specified in the listing.
✓ We want a smooth transaction just as much as you do and as such we run all UK-registered cars and motorbikes for sale on Car & Classic through an online HPI check to verify that they show no insurance database markers for damage or theft, and have no finance owing, allowing you to bid with confidence.
