Description
MERCEDES 280 - MERCEDES W111 COUPÉ - Type: Passenger car - Body style: Coupé - Engine: ES - Colour: BROWN - Odometer reading: 42,767 - First registration: 10/03/1970 - Power: 16 - Seats: 4 - WITH REGISTRATION DOCUMENT - Comments: The Mercedes W111 Coupé was built from 1968 to 1971; it epitomises the luxury of grand touring cars of that era. It was designed by the brilliant Paul Bracq, to whom we also owe the design of the Mercedes Pagoda. It is undeniably a symbol of elegance with its sleek lines and pillarless doors. It is powered by a 2,778 cm³ in-line 6-cylinder engine with mechanical fuel injection, producing 160cv, mated to a manual gearbox. According to many experts, it is one of the most beautiful cars of all time!!!! Although this vehicle is in good working order, it is being sold as ‘non-roadworthy’ as it has not undergone a roadworthiness test within the last six months. For your information, we have attached the latest roadworthiness test report from 2020 (collector’s registration certificate, roadworthiness test every five years) Please note a discrepancy in the mileage between the 2020 roadworthiness test record and the current reading, the cause of which we do not know (perhaps the inspector rounded the figure?) The actual mileage is therefore unknown – the odometer has 5 digits. The model we are offering was sold new in France and has been owned by the same family (mother and son) since the 1980s. !!!!!! (Owned by the same family for 45 years, as evidenced by several old invoices and MOT certificates) The vehicle is in very good running order but has not covered long distances recently (horn not working, intermittent indicators and cracked rear lights) Overall exterior presentation is good (though not perfect: a dent on the bonnet and roof, a scratch on the front wing, and worn original door seals) The front upholstery was reupholstered several years ago; the interior is in fairly poor condition, except for the wood trim around the windscreen, which needs restoring It has always been stored under cover since the 1980s, so it is in a very sound condition As you will have gathered, this is a car that needs some TLC to restore it to its former glory; it is an exceptional base vehicle given its traceable history and general condition. The car has been serviced by the current owner, including: - starter motor overhaul - replacement of front brake caliper with brake bleeding - adjustment of accelerator linkage - replacement of spark plugs - replacement of rear exhaust silencer - windscreen washer system reconditioned - engine, gearbox and differential oil change A model in concours condition fetches around 70,000 euros and the price continues to rise year on year!!! A superb and rare opportunity with great potential!
