COME ON. ADMIT IT. I BET ALOT OFF YOU MERCEDES FANS HAVE NOT SEEN ONE OF THESE COME UP FOR SALE ON THE OPEN MARKET BEFORE. WELL THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO BUY THIS VERY RARE CLASSIC MOTOR VEHICLE THAT YOU MAY HAVE ONLY DREAMED ABOUT FINDING LET ALONE BUYING!
THIS MERCEDES HAS BEEN IN OUR FAMILY FOR SOME TIME NOW. I ALWAYS USE TO LOOK AT IT AND WISH I COULD DRIVE IT WHEN I WAS MUCH YOUNGER. THEN LAST YEAR MY GREAT UNCLE (THE FORMER OWNER) SADLY PASSED AWAY. AND TO A GREAT SHOCK WHEN THEY READ THE WILL WE ALL DISCOVERED THAT HE LEFT THE CAR TO ME. SO LAST SPRING I HAD THE CAR RECOVERED FROM MY UNCLE'S HOUSE IN LONDON DOWN HERE TO ME. I CHECKED THE OIL & WATER. FITTED A NEW BATTERY AND ADDED SOME FRESH FUEL WITH LEAD ADDITIVE AND GUESS WHAT??? YEAH YOU GOT IT. THE BEAST FIRED UP :)  I DROVE HER ROUND THE BLOCK AND SHE DROVE "OK" CONSIDERING SHE HASN'T MOVED IN YEARS. BRAKES WERE SPONGY. NEXT JOB. I REMOVED ALL THE BRAKE CALIPERS & BRAKE PADS. CLEANED AND REFITTED IT ALL BACK UP AND BLEED THE BRAKING SYSTEM SO THAT PROBLEM GOT FIXED WITH NOT MUCH HASSLE. I REPLACED THE ENGINE OIL & FILTER. PLUGS & LEADS. SHE NEEDS TUNING UP NOW. CHROME WORK IS NICE FOR HER AGEINTERIOR IS CLEAN BODY WORK NEEDS LOOKING AT. IF IT DOSE NOT SELL THEN I WILL SIMPLY RESTORE HER TO FORMER GLORY NEXT YEAR AFTER FINISHING MY OTHER CLASSIC FORD PROJECTS WHICH I HAVE ALREADY STARTED. THIS CAR FULLY RESTORED IS WORTH WITH THIS MILEAGE AND HISTORY IS WORTH OVER £20K IN A AUCTION SO PRIVATE SALE WOULD BE MORE
WHEN I SAY MILEAGE AND HISTORY. YES SHE HAS GENUINE 37000 MILES AND LOTS OFF HISTORY.
IT IS CURRENTLY DECLARED SORN BUT IS TAX EXEMPT ANYWAYNO MOT SO SHE WILL HAVE TO BE TRAILERD AWAY.
I AM ONLY TESTING THE WATER WITH THIS AUCTION AS I CURRENTLY DONT HAVE THE TIME FOR THIS CAR BUT I AM IN NO MAJOR HURRY TO SELL AS I KNOW I HAVE A TRUE CLASSIC IN MY POSSESSION WHICH WILL ONLY APPRECIATE IN VALUE.
THE CAR IS ADVERTISED ELSE WHERE SO I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REMOVE AT ANYTIME
THIS IS A NON RESERVE AUCTION AND WILL SELL TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER IF AUCTION IS RUN TO THE END.

PLEASE REMEMBER IF YOU ARE THE WINNING BIDDER YOU HAVE ENTERED A LEGALLY BINDING CONTRACT TO PURCHASE THE CAR. IF YOU ARE HAPPY TO BUY WITHOUT VIEWING BY ALL MEANS BID.
