Description
This is the desirable V8 model fitted with the 3-speed automatic transmission, trimmed in white leather and equipped with a period Zender body kit, including side skirts and a rear spoiler. At some stage, believed to be over 20 years ago, the car was repainted.
The last inspection was carried out in 2012. It remained in use for a few more years before being placed into storage. Following the owner's passing in 2022, the car was inherited by his stepdaughter. In late 2023, it was taken to a Mercedes specialist who overhauled the braking system, fitted new spark plugs, ignition leads and a new set of tyres. Unfortunately, the project then stalled and the car was left parked outside, where the paintwork developed cracks and some areas of rust.
After arriving at our depot, we carried out a mechanical review, during which the car was running and driving. The V8 engine performed well, the 3-speed automatic gearbox shifted smoothly, and the brakes operated correctly. However, the car is currently not starting due to an electrical issue that requires investigation. A new battery is also needed.
Before returning to regular road use, the car will require a full service, mechanical inspection and roadworthiness inspection. The cosmetic paintwork defects and rust are visible and should be addressed over time, although the car can still be enjoyed as a usable classic in its current condition.

Condition

Mechanical condition
When running, the V8 engine performed well, and during our test drive, the 3-speed automatic gearbox shifted correctly and the brakes operated as they should. However, the car is currently not starting due to an electrical issue that requires investigation. The battery will also need replacing, as we used a separate battery during our test drive.
The car will benefit from a full service and mechanical review before returning to regular use and will require one final roadworthiness inspection to become inspection exempt. The ECU in the passenger footwell needs to be refitted in its correct position. The oil pressure gauge shows healthy pressure while driving. It is fitted with a set of BBS alloy wheels in good condition, showing only minor scuffs, and they are fitted with a good set of tyres. -
Interior condition
The white leather interior is in good overall condition, with the front and rear seats free from major damage. There are a few rust marks on the seat bases from the seat frames when tilted. The headlining, carpets, door cards and trim are all in good condition and would benefit from a thorough clean and leather reconditioning.
The dashboard is complete with working original gauges, although the heater fan is inoperative. The electric windows and sunroof are working. The passenger door opens from the inside but not from the outside. -
Exterior condition
The car is presentable from a distance, but a closer inspection reveals cracked paint, blisters, and various scratches and marks (see pictures). The underbody is in better condition, with no major structural concerns, although there are signs of rust around the sills and evidence of older welding repairs in the boot floor.
The car will require cosmetic restoration and repainting to bring it back to a high standard, although it can also be enjoyed as it is and restored over time. -
General condition
A great opportunity for the right buyer to bring this classic back to full roadworthy condition and enjoy it once again.
