Description
The car had already been renovated and repainted when he bought it, most likely during the late 1980s. Like many W116s of this era, it had suffered from rust issues over the years. During the repaint, a slightly different shade of gold was used, which can be seen when compared with areas of original paint around the door and window frames.
The car runs and drives well, with a smooth-running engine and automatic gearbox. The interior is clean overall, with some damage to the driver’s seat. Externally, the car presents well, although paint flaws and some rust blistering can be found around the bodywork. It is not a show car, but a good, usable classic that can be enjoyed as it is and improved over time.

Technical data
Condition
-
Mechanical condition
The car starts easily and the engine runs well. On a cold start, the rubber belts squeak for a couple of seconds before becoming quiet, so replacing the belts is recommended and should be a straightforward job. The left front brake also makes a rubbing sound, possibly from the caliper or brake pad, and should be checked.
The engine bay would benefit from a clean and tidy-up, but otherwise the car runs and drives well. It is inspection exempt. -
Interior condition
Classic 1970s brown interior presenting in good overall condition. The seats are well kept apart from some damage to the driver’s seat bolster. The door panels, carpets and headliner are also in good condition.
The dashboard and instrumentation work as they should, with good oil pressure showing while driving, and the electric sunroof is fully operational. A thorough clean and detailing would really lift the interior. -
Exterior condition
A presentable car overall, but on closer inspection there are some micro-blisters and rust blisters in the paintwork from older repairs. There is also a small approximately 15 cm dent on the right side of the roof and a small section of chrome side trim missing from the rear door. The remaining chrome work is bright and presents well.
The paint finish has some blemishes and would benefit from a good polish. The underbody looks solid overall with evidence of some older repairs. Importantly, this is not a heavily rusted car, but an older usable classic showing signs of previous work and age. -
General condition
A very usable summer classic. It is never going to be a show car, but it offers affordable W116 ownership and can be enjoyed as it is while being improved over time.
