Very occasionally it is possible to find popular classic motorcars that have been truly cherished throughout their lives and this very fine Mercedes is one such example. In this case it is its simplicity of ownership that accounts for the fact that the car has remained in highly original and well preserved order as it remained in the same family ownership for virtually its whole life.
Its data tag confirms that it was supplied in Signal Red and with a Black hardtop. Mercedes paint finishes are renowned for the quality and longevity if well maintained and close inspection of the car today confirms that in this respect the car is substantially original.
