History
Originally supplied by Normand (Mayfair) Mercedes on 17th May 1988, the car was owned and cherished for 31 years. It was then bought by a classic car enthusiast who took on the task of restoring the car back to its former glory. From 2019 upto 2023 the car underwent an extensive restoration costing thousands. All receipts present. Some examples of work include: brake overhaul, rust repair, engine refurbishment, servicing, suspension work and much more.
The car was then sold in 2023 to a son who purchased the car for his father as a gift who unfortunetly owned it for a short period of time due to his mobility issues making it difficult to get in and out of. I purchased the car in October 2024 to add to our collection of classic Mercedes but have now decided to sell and raise cash for a property purchase.
Current Work
Since in my ownership I have improved the following: replaced collapsed drivers seat base, new battery with 2 year warranty, new alternator and tensioner shocker, replacement car mats, refurbished alloys,

Great Bits: Car comes with stamped service history books and user manual, original key ring, 4 Pirelli tyres all with good thread, working Blaupunkt period correct stereo with Bluetooth and DAB. Full standard suspension set available as currently on sports suspension.
Bad bits: The car is suffering from small areas of rust common of this era. Mainly around the boot shut and spare wheel well. Rear door cards require attention, drivers seat bolster requires repair.
