Introduced in August 1991, the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class (codenamed W140) was a technological tour de force. Renowned for its wonderful build quality and refinement, it boasted such niceties as double-pane window glazing and self-closing doors / boot. Based upon a rigid monocoque bodyshell equipped with all-round independent suspension (double-wishbone front / multi-link rear), four-wheel disc brakes and power assisted steering, its imposing 'footprint' was belied by excellent road manners. A challenger for the title of 'best car in the world', the Stuttgart manufacturer's flagship could be had in standard saloon, long wheelbase or fixed-head coupe guises. Part of the initial launch range, the 300 SE saloon was powered by a 3199cc six-cylinder engine allied to four-speed automatic transmission (though, a five-speed autobox was optional). Notable as one of the most fuel efficient petrol-engined W140 variants, it combined respectable performance (141mph / 0-60mph in 8.9 seconds) with acceptable economy (21mpg average).
This model is truly one of the last 'hand built' cars from Mercedes-Benz and is described as being in immaculate condition throughout with the bodywork finished in metallic silver grey and a fully matching leather interior. It has a warranted mileage totalling 91000 miles from new with a complete service history and it also has a current MOT certificate until November next year and road fund licence until April of the same year.
These models had practically everything in terms of specification and this car represents phenomenal value in today's market and we are confident that it has the potential to give years of motoring pleasure.
