The Appeal
If you’re in the market for the restoration of the ever-faithful 250S Mercedes or looking for a car as a donor for spares, then look no further.
The car is reported to be in generally solid condition and starts and runs, but does not drive, as there appears to be no gearbox linkage attached.

The History and Paperwork
• First registered in 1986
• Imported from Italy around 4 years ago
• Dry stored since importation
• Spare wheel and jack
• 1 set of keys
Imported and then dry stored for the past 4 years this is up for auction as a car for spares or repairs as although it starts and runs it currently doesn’t drive.
The Interior
• Original interior
The original but fairly shabby interior can definitely be improved with some restoration or stripped out for parts.
The Exterior
• Finished in Dark Blue
Reported to be fairly solid the bodywork appears straight with fairly good condition chrome trim and an unfortunate dent to the rear.
Windows and lights appear clear with no obvious damage anywhere.
The Mechanics
• Starts and runs
The car comes with no service history and does come with some issues in that it currently starts and runs but does not drive, believed to be down to a gearbox linkage issue.
Having been stored now for several years the car will also require a degree of re-commissioning.
Summary
Could this be a dream come true?
Either way it’s still a classic Mercedes so it can’t be all-bad.
