Description
No Reserve.
2962cc petrol, automatic.
Finished in Almandine Red, this six-cylinder Mercedes 300SE is the most economical UK variant of the W126 flagship, featuring a plush beige cloth interior, dual-zone climate control with air conditioning, and a CD multi-changer in the boot.
The interior is reasonably well preserved considering the odometer reading of 184,897 miles, although there has been some water ingress, possibly through the sunroof which looks like it needs a new seal.

The vendor bought it from a deceased estate and there has been only one registered change of keeper in 1991.
The current V5C is the only paperwork we have, showing one former keeper and registration in November 1988. NOTICE TO BUYERS: Please be aware that all lots are sold as seen and without any warranty implied or given.
