Nice 39 year old 1978 Mercedes Benz 350se W116 SOLD

 Hello to you! Thanks for looking at my advert
This car was bought by myself in 1992 and all though it was at that time m. o. t. tested I stripped the car bare with all the interior and bright work removed. The car was then inspected and all mechanical and electrical issues were resolved. Poor areas of the body were ground down and if required new panels were welded into place. The car was then sanded and painted old English white. The car was then put through another M. O. T. test.
The car was only used as a wedding/ celebration car.
The car was used for celebrations until 1999.
  During this period the car was well maintained.
The car was used solely for this purpose until September 1999 and from then the car has stood in my garage for the next 18 years.....
In 2017 it was time to make space in the garage. A battery was obtained and an attempt to start was made with no success due to no fuel. A new fuel pump and a new coil ballast resistor were fitted and up she ran not bad i thought after standing for so long.
 The car was then inspected and only new rear discs/ handbrake shoes and rear and front pads were required to obtain an MOT test certificate.
 Drives very good, auto box is great, engine is sweet, brakes are as they should be. The vehicle has no noises or rattles.
All the electrics work, just a couple of heated rear window elements have failed. The cruise control works, the Sony radio cassette works, as does the automatic electric aerial. The vehicle has never had air con
August 2018 will see free road tax!!!!!!
and an M. O. T. test will no longer be a legal requirement
The Mileage reads 92618 but I have reservations as to the accuracy of this this mileage, as i have no documents to confirm this.
This is not a show car but it certainly turns heads.
The interior is very clean, the upholstery is good with only the drivers seat showing a noticeable mark.
The chassis and body are in good condition.
This vehicle is instantly usable and once taxed could be driven away..
The engine was replaced during the wedding car years for the 4. 5 liter engine from a 450se as the original 3. 5 liter engine slightly smoked and had a rattly timing chain.
This 4. 5 liter engine makes for an even brisker drive.
All the photos were taken after August 2017.
M. O. T until August 2018
Well thats about it, any more info please contact me on the details below thanks.
