This Mercedes-Benz 200 was delivered new on 19th May 1981 by Mercedes-Benz Longchamp in Paris. Presented in outstandingly original condition, the car has enjoyed single-family ownership from new (uncle and nephew) and has covered a certified circa 54.500 km. The second Carte Grise is on file together with a photocopy of the first. The owners were wealthy landowners, who never drove the Mercedes in the rain and on longer trips often transported it by train. When not in use it was kept garaged, protected by a cover.
The colour combination is particularly appealing: Walnut Brown with Saffron Light Tan interior in MB Tex fabric. The original paintwork is beautifully preserved, as is the upholstery, which has been protected since delivery by made-to-measure zipped covers and has never seen the light of day. Factory fitted options include power steering, central locking, lockable glove compartment, folding front armrest, electrically heated rear window, halogen fog lamps, parcel nets, and rear courtesy light. The first owner had the right-side door mirror fitted by Mercedes-Benz, and the car also retains its original Blaupunkt Montreux radio, complete with instruction manual.
