SUMMARY

Classically presented, this 2.8-litre S-Class has covered less than 10,000 miles from new and remains in commensurate condition.

DESCRIPTION

  • Introduced in 1991, the W140 was Mercedes-Benz' flagship during those all-important early years of the 1990s. Often seen by more critical enthusiasts as the 'last true S-Class', these cars offered restrained styling, top-notch engineering and solid build quality
  • Powered by the 2,799cc M104 six-cylinder powerplant, with c.228bhp fed through a four-speed auto transmission
  • First registered in 1997, this example was supplied by Stillmans Mercedes-Benz Stourbridge and has covered less than 10,000 miles from new, still retaining its original dealer stickers
  • It's finished in Brilliant Silver with sunroof over a blue leather interior throughout with matching carpets and door cards with veneered panels
  • Equipped with a Blaupunkt Head unit with CD changer in boot, cruise and limit-control, steering column adjuster, full electrics and heated seats
  • Supplied with its original service book displaying five stamps from Mercedes or M-B specialists, toolkit and spare wheel
  • Very well presented in a classic colour combination, this luxurious S-Class has patently been cherished and when combined with fastidious maintenance and extremely low mileage, is undoubtedly 'collector quality'
