Bought by stepfather in 1990 for 25,540, Registered to his then wife. After she died he met my mother & they used it until he died 2010. Mother stopped driving 2016, registered to me so that I could drive her. She died 2020. Trips to South of France & Scotland. I would trust it to go to France today. Runs smooth and strong. Classic, probably bottom of value curve - perfect opportunity for someone with knowledge to turn into a valuable iconic concours Mercedes. Features in a newly released film: Truly Naked. Part of genuine original script included. I will put a new MOT. This is NOT a 2.8, it is a 2962 cc (300) straight six. Year of first reg, 01-1988. (Autotrader doesn't go back that far with its drop down options) Needs some things doing, I think this covers it: Fog lights work by pulling lightswitch towards you as normal, but the handle comes off.
