MOT - February 2018
Classic Car insurance (£10 Per Month - Lancaster Classic)
Also advertised through Ebay Classic Cars section

RECENT UPDATE (14/ 08/ 2017)
Vehicle is now based down in West London. I drove the car 200 Miles from Humberside Airport to London. It performed very well.
Unfortunately on the way down the Vinyl roof got damaged near the Hatfield Tunnel and had to be completely removed.

Furthermore, it has been diagnosed that a rear bearing will need replacing in the near future. (Colin Fern Independent MB specialist London diagnosed this and has quoted 4 hours labour to change and fit new part)

Finished in Mercedes-Benz Paint code - DB147 (Originally the car was Champagne gold with beige interior. Now white with Red Interior)- Previous MB Classic Members Car.(Southampton)
In my personal view the MB W114 is one of Paul Bracqs most elegant designs that he designed for MB in the late 60's/ Early 70's.

Works completed from Feb 2015 - Feb 2016 include:
New bushes, New Front sub-frame mountings, Engine mounts, New rubbers all round (Doors, Boot, Grill, Handles.. etc), Complete Sub-frame cleaned, Primer with Zinc Oxide and Painted.
Rust from floor panels cut out and Plates welded in, Seam sealed and coated with Zinc Oxide paint. New front screen. New rubbers for front and rear screens.
New carpets, New exhaust, New tyres, Electronic Ignition fitted (pertronix electronic ignition, Points and Transistor removed). New battery, New Bosch Coil, New Leads, new Plugs, Reconditioned Injectors (Mr Injector Suffolk), New Ball joints (Febi- Bilstein) , Bush kits (febi), Track rod arms, Steering damper............... etc. The list is endless. (All parts either MB, Bosch, Febi, Mahle, Or Mann)
New rear seat belts (Anchored on the parcel shelf) New rear Speaker. New Door Speaks. New Bluetooth stereo fitted. Dash Speaker working.

Having mentioned all the above it is not concourse, hence the listed price. Immaculate versions of this particular model are sold for 19K and upwards.

Points to address:

It does require a new Head liner fitted as the old one is for a sunroof model (Now Redundant, sealed and Vinyled) and two pieces of Trim that I am finding difficult to source (A Pillar Moulding - I have two. Ones in a poor way. They are currently not fitted on the car)

Will require a new off-side light reflector as the current one is not immaculate. Nearside is New at a cost of 185 Euros just for the reflector/ Indicator)

The Near side wing, Off side wing and Bonnet require Paint touch up required. Also a small area near the roof bars requires attention.

Also as an addition I feel the drivers side seat will need the pocket springs replacing. I am quite tall so it doesn't affect me much. But I thought I should mention it.

The Right Hand drive Stroke 8 model coupes are becoming very rare to source. There are plenty of LHD Imports from the US and Mainland Europe which to be fair are in brilliant condition due mostly to the favorable weather conditions of many states in the US. However the British drivers will know that a RHD car has it own pleasure when cruising in the UK. Also just to add this particular model is only fitted with the Drivers-side wind mirror.
This car has had thousands spent on it (Receipts, documentation and a full album covering the restoration will be sold with it. A digital Album only as I have paid good money to get the pictures developed) and many man hours. Would be nice for it to go to a good home.

PLease email only if you're genuinely interested. I know there are still plenty of W114 Coupes kicking about in the UK, But I have purchased 3 in the past and all have been rotten. Typical places where these models go tends to be the Bulk Head, Floor pans and Boot floors. Thankfully my rolling chassis already had a lot of work already done.

- details above

Best to come and view the Car in person. Best way to organize a viewing is to email me.

Judging by the current conditions the classic car market is not as buoyant as I would have liked it to be. Having said that I feel I have priced it competitively. I am open to taking sensible offers but at the same time I would prefer interested parties come to actually view the car then submit their offers in person. It is the gentlemanly thing to do and no sensible person would part with such amount of money over the phone.

Cash preferred. Bankers Draft possible.(If cleared before delivery)

A good Investment. The Coupe models are always in demand and show appreciation year on year and it is a head turner.
Just not getting used enough.
You wont find a more tidy example at this price. I have had two in the past, both were mostly rust. And parts are not cheap anymore.

Thank you for looking.
