1976 Mercedes-Benz 200 Saloon
No Reserve

Registration No: OMB 732P
Chassis No: 11501520303123
MOT: Exempt

• A notably late example of Mercedes-Benz's 'Strich Acht' design one of which clocked up 2.9 million miles!
• UK market car complete with 2-litre SOHC four-cylinder engine and manual transmission
• Credible but unwarranted 94,500 miles shown on the odometer
• Original service book and assorted paperwork
• Running and driving last year but now in need of recommissioning

Introduced in 1968, Mercedes-Benz’s ‘New Generation’ W114/115 models (otherwise known as the /8 series) were intended to attract new buyers to the marque and hence broaden its customer base. Typically well-engineered, they featured all-round, independent coil-sprung suspension and four-wheel disc brakes together with revised manual and four-speed automatic transmissions. Mainstay of the W115 range, the four-door 200 saloon was powered by a 1988cc four-cylinder engine that developed some 94bhp and 115lbft of torque. Reputedly capable of 99mph, the Stuttgart factory's legendary build quality helped make it a strong sales success.

First registered in Middlesex (or so its ‘OMB 732P’ number plate would imply), this particular example has been dry stored as part of a private collection for much of the past decade. Said to have been in running order last year, the Mercedes-Benz has not been started of late and will require recommissioning / restoring prior to road use. Finished in Blue with Red MB-Tex upholstery and Beige carpets, the 200 Saloon is believed but not warranted to have covered a modest 92,500 miles from new. Last passing a MOT test less than 300 miles ago, the four- / five-seater has the makings of a practical, family classic. Reportedly accompanied by the original service book and three keys (one of which fits all the locks), ‘OMB 732P’ is offered for sale without reserve. A rare survivor and surely among the least expensive ways to acquire a Paul Bracq-styled Mercedes-Benz?
