This is a truly stunning example, RUST FREE throughout and in absolutely exceptional “time warp” condition
I bought this as a stop gap car as I needed something reliable, with decent loading capacity and having owned over 20 Mercedes I know how well built the W124 series are, so it was the natural choice. I’d go as far as to say the best Mercedes car ever produced in terms of longevity and quality of workmanship. I wanted to buy the best possible example I could find, and I’m confident I did that. It has not disappointed, but now its time for it to have a new loving home as I have another car and no room to store this as much as I would love to keep it. 
The car has wanted for nothing its entire life, with a cardboard folder filled to the brim 2 inches thick with service history. The service book itself has been stamped 12 times through to 2003 and since then the car has been enthusiast owned with all work carried out either at home or in local Mercedes specialists. There are tonnes of invoices for parts and also for work at garages.
I have listed below just a few of the items that have been done in the last three years:
OSF drag link (lower ball joint), engine service at 149k, new battery, new brake hoses throughout, new exhaust system throughout including cat converter, new hydraulic pipes for rear suspension.
I have listed below the work just this month carried out by me in preparation for the most recent MOT (note not all of this was required but I like to be thorough and I got all advisory issues attended to regardless of cost):
Rubber propshaft coupling replaced (perishing), replaced NSF steering arm, tightened steering box adjustment, tracking and wheel alignment, adjust front wheel bearings – total £365 (invoice present)
Mechanically the car is absolutely spot on. There are NO OIL LEAKS whatsoever, the engine fires up first turn of the key even when its -2 degrees, it engages gears perfectly and on the road changes through all four gears extremely smoothly. There are NO SUSPENSION KNOCKS, NO SMOKE whatsoever from the exhaust, all tyres are excellent with loads of tread (4 x Avon). All electric windows and electric sunroof operate perfectly, as well as all interior switches and buttons and the radio/ CD player/ speakers. Electric aerial also goes up and down as it should. The only mechanical issues to note are a tiny exhaust rattle when passing 2000rpm ( I think this is a heat shield or a baffle in the new exhaust system but have not investigated), and the air conditioning is not operating.

The interior is in great shape with grey cloth with only very minor wear to drivers seat bolster, (not ripped and not through the cloth), there is a dog guard and the additional two seats in the back are in good condition also. It is fresh and has never been smoked in.
The bodywork is in remarkable condition for a car that is 25 years old. The front wings have been replaced and repainted to eliminate common rust that is usually found there. The car is therefore rust free and must be seen! The alloy wheels have a couple of marks and if you are being fussy you would refurbish them. Underneath the car is extremely solid – see pictures.
To summarise, I am confident you will not find a cleaner example than this anywhere. Please do not call with silly offers, as the price is representative of the quality of the example – this is in another league to the many tired and rusty examples out there with horrible interiors, hardly any history, holes in the wings and 200k miles +. This car is good to go for another 100, 000 miles if you keep looking after it the way it has been its whole life.

Please call if you wish to view the car, it is based in Hazlemere, High Wycombe.

PLEASE NOTE MY PRIVATE PLATE SHOWN IN PICTURES DOES NOT COME WITH THE CAR! IT WILL RETURN TO ITS "L PLATE"

History The 220S debuted at Frankfurt in 1956 as the top of a new line of cars. It used the company’s envelope-style “ponton” body and shared a strong family resemblance to the sporty 190SL and mighty 300SL. Unlike those specialty two-seaters, however, the 220S was hand-built to carry passengers in luxury on a ...
