SUMMARY

Presented in super condition with just 47,000 miles, this elegant, long wheelbase, S-Class is very attractively guided.

DESCRIPTION

  • From the final year of W126 production, this second-generation, 4.2-litre, long-wheelbase, S-Class is in excellent condition
  • Very well presented in Anthracite Grey with a contrasting lower body panel and very smart alloys
  • Impressive interior in duo-tone grey velour. The rear seats look like they have never been sat in
  • Starting on the button, with smooth transmission and the V8 burbling as it should, it has been in regular use by our client
  • There are a couple of minor electrical issues, the sunroof, radio and electric aerial are inoperative and there are some slight cracks to the veneers, and some minor bubbling in the boot gullies
  • Whilst the substantial history file was lost by a prior owner, the condition reflects a car that has surely been well maintained and the MOT history file supports the indicated mileage
  • MOT'd in Spring this year, this is an eminently usable classic S-Class and offered without reserve it should draw plenty of attention
