1970 W115 Mercedes 220 Petrol - California Car - 58,000 Miles from new - Runs Well.MOT and Tax exempt.Only 2 US owners, 2 UK owners (myself being second from import)LHD, US import from California, Automatic 4 speed.Video walkaround: https://youtu.be/lTsfdzOxUFw Finished in stunning horizon blue paintwork which is in fantastic condition with a lovely deep sheen for it's age.Fantastic blue leather interior.Deep pile blue carpeting.Headlining in great shape too, sun visors could do with a refurb.Original mercedes stainless wheel trims in great condition.White wall tyres only recently changed, done circa 200 miles on them.Air conditioning car but radiator currently uninstalled, needs refurb and reinstallation. Will come with car in boot.Indicator regulator and a few other minors bits like chrome pieces to make it perfect, I don't have the time required to give it the love and regular driving it deserves!Supplied new to a doctor in Redding, California then to Mercedes collector in burbank, California.Last US owner had coveted and maintained the car with no expense spared in his near 30 years of ownership with lots of receipts and considerable expenditure.In 1998 a full engine rebuild was completed (47,000 miles) at a cost of nearly $6,000 with receipts. He also commisioned an exclusive burbank upholstery specialist to completely recover the interior seating in period / pattern correct leather ( it originally came with m-tex vinyl which although unmarked he didnt think it done the car justice). A new complete carpet and headlining were also installed along with 'dynamat' soundproofing to floors and roof ,total cost exceeding $4,000 at the time.Around the same time the car was professionally repainted in its original 'horizon blue' colour as the paintwork had faded with the california sun. Cost approx $5,000.An Alpine remote control hi end music system with amp and 6 disc cd multichanger / upgraded speakers was also installed, cost $2,000. This has been uninstalled and I'd reccomend the new owner repacing the system for new one as speakers are shot.All of the above work done in California was completed at approx 47,000 miles .The car was then continued to use and enjoy the car sparingly, mainly for pleasure or visiting the many classic car shows in southern california for the next 20 years covering only another 10,000 miles until it was imported to the UK.Whilst in the UK the following has been carried out:- Radiator reconditioned and system flushed to ensure the car does not overheat.- Electronic ignition conversion.- Rebuilt carburettor with manual choke conversion.- Various new brake components inc. pads, pipes, calipers.- Prop shaft bearing.- New rear exhaust.- Fluids changed regularly.- 4 new white wall tyres.Starts instantly and is whisper quite.Large history file, can provide imagery of all work completed in my 2 year ownership.Any inspection welcome, appointment only.Always been stored in dry underground garage and only ever used on dry days.
