First registered in 1970, this elegant coupé left the factory painted an elegant metallic grey (180G) complemented by a superb dark blue leather interior, and fitted with optional electric sunroof and Blaupunkt radio. Our collector, particu-larly keen on this marque, discovered this example in the Netherlands after it had benefitted from restoration. The bodywork is sound and in good condition, as is the chromework. The original leather interior has been conserved and has a beautiful patina despite a few tears we noticed in the front seats. The wood trim is in satisfactory condition. The engine, mated to a 4-speed automatic gearbox, starts and turns over well. The Falken tyres date from 2013 and show little sign of wear. The spare wheel is an optional aluminium wheel. This is a rather unusual Mercedes coupé with a distinctive level of power and performance. It paved the way for a whole generation of models that would consolidate the marque's reputation, based on a subtle combination of sport, comfort and luxury.
