My father, who is a perfectionist, bought this car in 1991 and maintained it in showroom condition. He rarely drove it and, in 2013, shipped it to me (his daughter) from Germany to Canada, with only 50,000KM / 30,000 miles. I have kept up the family tradition by continuing to maintain and service the car at Mercedes dealers and by overwintering it in a garage.

In 2013, for insurance purposes, I had the car evaluated professionally and an appraised value of $33,000 was assigned. The condition was described as follows:

“Body and Finish:
The body and finish (original) is in extra good condition. All chrome and brightwork is complete and in extra good condition. All glass components are in good condition, no cracks, fading or chips visible. The factory original interior is in extra good condition throughout. Radials front and back, all good 10% worn, complete with good factory allow wheels.

Mechanical:
The steering is in good condition. The Transmission works well, no leaks or slippage noticed. All the Underwear is in good dry condition. All the suspension components are in good working order. All lights, gauges and other electrical components are in good condition. The fuel as well as the exhaust system is in good working condition. The motor works well, and is free of leaks or slippage. The brake system is in good mechanical condition.

Additional Comments:
A good solid vehicle throughout.”

In 2016, this then 25 year old classic will gain ‘antique status’ - thereby increasing collectible appeal.

Currently milage: 61,388 km or 38,144 miles

Current condition: Very good & unchanged from insurance appraisal.
