The Appeal

The Mercedes W115 220D is a classic model that embodies the timeless elegance and robust engineering of Mercedes-Benz. Thanks to the iconic styling of Paul Bracq, these cars were practically synonymous with the brand's identity, and continue to be immediately recognisable today - enduring in style thanks to their impressive build quality and comfortable ride.

This particular example, with its original paint and rust-free underbody, has been well-preserved. The car comes with its original Becker radio and all instruction manuals, adding to its authenticity. Despite being stationary for 30 years in Oregon, it runs, shifts, and drives, demonstrating the durability of Mercedes engineering. The engine has been recently serviced with new parts installed, including a new oil filter, fuel injection pump, battery, and water pump.
