The W114 and W115 models were introduced in 1968 and
manufactured through to 1976. distinguished in the marketplace by
nameplates designating their engine sizes. The W114/W115 models
were the first post-war Mercedes-Benz production cars to use a
newly engineered chassis. the format of semi-trailing rear arms and
ball-joint front end would be used in all new passenger car models
until the development of the multi-link rear suspensions of the
1980's. The car was designed by French designer Paul Bracq who was
chief designer at Mercedes-Benz for models from 1957 through to
1967. a period that included models such as the Grosser
Mercedes-Benz 600. The W114/W115 received a facelift in 1973 with a
lower bonnet-line. lower and broader grill. a single front bumper
and lower placement of the headlamps together with removal of the
quarter windows in the front doors and larger side mirrors. The
interior received inertia reel belts and a new padded steering
wheel. The W115 is known to be an incredibly durable car and in
2004. a Greek taxi driver donated his 1976 Mercedes-Benz 240D to
the Mercedes-Benz Museum Collection with 4. 6 million kilometres on
the odometer. which is recognised as being the highest recorded
mileage of any Mercedes-Benz known to date.

This automatic 230 model W115 was originally registered on 15th
July. 1974 and presents in good all-round condition. We are advised
by the vendor that it starts and drives in the manner to be
expected of such a well built car. Of the 87. 09 examples of this
model manufactured by Mercedes-Benz. it is not known how many exist
today although a good W115 will always attract attention at any
classic car show. Finished in red with beige trim and supplied with
a V5 registration document together with a current MoT test
certificate. SKL705M represents a great opportunity to enter the
classic car market and offered at no reserve this could prove to be
a real bargain.
