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.
A true ‘timewarp’, this remarkably well preserved W115 is warranted to have covered a mere 25,000 miles from new. Supplied to its first owner by main agent, Callanders Engineering Co of Aberdeen, on August 18th 1975, the 200 has self-evidently been cherished ever since. Finished in Pastel White (DB131) with Blue fabric (062) upholstery, the Saloon was even deemed smart enough to join Graham Dacre’s famous Mercedes-Benz collection being stabled alongside a 300SL ‘Gullwing’ and the ex-John Lennon 600 etc. As well as the original book pack, accompanying paperwork includes a box file of invoices showing that ‘JSS 868P’ has had the gear linkage for its four-speed manual transmission re-bushed, exhaust renewed and even its petrol filler flap spring replaced! Entrusted by the vendor to marque specialist Derrick Wells for a service and checkover last June, the 200 had attention paid to its brakes and screen wash pump too at a cost of £1,405.56. Worthy of close inspection and MOT’d until June 17th 2025, ‘JSS 868P’ is surely worthy of a place in another marque collection.
