Comments from the seller
Genuine enquiry welcome. Please no time wasters.
Far and away the best Australian Delivered W140 available and possibly in the country.
Unlike the other low mileage examples this is not an import.
Finished in stunning Smoke Silver over Musselgrau cladding this S280 is absolutely gorgeous. It was in long-term storage for many years with the original owner who spent most of their time overseas.
I have had it major serviced this month and for piece of mind all fluids have been changed and perishables like the motor mounts and gearbox mounts have also just been done.
It is a turn key example. Being a later car it is not affected by wiring harness or vacuum issues.
Delivery books. Both master keys. The best available. I have enjoyed pottering about in it as a Sunday driver and would like it to go to a good home.
I am happy to assist interstate buyers.
Has been on club/historic reg. Buyer to seek thier own.
