This car was originally purchased by a Computer company for its Manager and was always maintained at the Mercedes dealership. The company was then transferred/ changed to another name and so was the V5 even though it still remained with the original 1 Manager and the same Mercedes dealership for servicing etc.
Then the Manager was offered a new car but he still wanted to keep the Mercedes.
When the Manager was leaving due to retirement he then purchased the car from the company he worked for and kept it maintained at Mercedes as he liked it so much. So even tho he is the '3rd owner now, he is infact still the 1st original owner.
So the X2 extra owners are just due to the different company names
I have proof of all of this in the paperwork.
He then kept it until he could drive no more due to a disability and then sold it on in 2009.
So the 1st original owner kept it from 1994 till 2009 which is 15 years.
The 2nd owner kept it from 2009 to 2012
The 3rd owner who was a Mercedes collector kept it from 2012 till 2016 till my Father bought it
My Father is the 4th owner and has owned it from 2016 up until now and its always been a great car to him. My Father personally has also spoken to the 1st and 2nd owners of the cars.
The car is currently parked up which is a shame as its a great classic Mercedes, it did have a dent below the drivers side rear pillarless glass that was repaired before hand, and that's all it was a simple dent. It's mentioned on the v5 due to its age anything as small as this is mentioned. But I think due to new updated v5 it might not come up on the new v5? But I can't guarantee this so please check it yourself
Also have the original 1994 v5 and other copies
Theres is literally a box full of files and paperwork
The car was also parked up in storage briefly from 2016 till 2018 when it was taken out of storage and straight for its MOT which it passed with no issues. There is a picture included of this when it's full of dust taken out of storage.
The car is currently Sorn since 2020 and without an Mot due to it being parked up because of the Pandemic lock down, it had a recent oil change and it had been fully valeted and then moved to a storage site. So currently there is no mot and it's stored on a private storage site. The photos show it getting cleaned up before it was parked in the secure site.
The car is parked in a secure site with 24hr access and security. The roads can get dusty due to the rocky floor and that is all you can see on the car, dust. Even a simple jet wash would have the car sparkling again.
The car was always started regularly and driven forward and reversed in the yard, the engine is smooth and amazing, you'd honestly think it has only done 20k miles.
The car glides like a magic carpet, you don't feel no bumps, nothing. It is unbelievably a smooth car like your on air.
My Father is too old to drive this car anymore, after all he is 80 years old, we did expect him to drive it once the lock down life was back to normal, but by then he preferred a smaller car, even though he totally gave up driving. This is someone who was used to driving Jaguar E types and the Ford Granadas, Ford Capri 3100. He wasn't driving this much anyway in all the years he had it but always loved the Mercedes c124 coupe.
The steering wheel has a leather wrap added to it, what you see at the bottom of the steering wheel is the excess string which was just wrapped around instead of being cut off, i fitted this for him, it feels great, better than the original steering. It is much more comfortable and so soft, it's perfect. The centre Mercedes emblem on the steering wheel has had some chrome vinyl wrap put on which you can peel off if needs be, otherwise its just a plain black emblem mould part of the steering wheel. I don't think you will find another Mercedes as clean as this especially on the inside, or any other car that's similar age to this, but please expect general wear and tear due to its age.
The one other thing that put the wheels in motion and cemented the sale of this car was because someone who parked next to it scraped the front bumper as they pulled out of their parking space, we absolutely exhausted every channel possible to make her pay but she is an ignorant rude woman who simply doesn't care which is really upsetting. We involved the police, the police said as it's private land we can't do a thing! Trading standards told us otherwise, they said as public still have access in the yard etc she is still liable and so we have a case, but the police thinks otherwise. Basically we are going in circles and it's not healthy for my dad or the rest of the family, this episode has really stressed us out, it has been both mentally and physically exhausting. And especially paying for storage and then having zero protection! But that's life I suppose.
This incident occurred in December 2022 just before Christmas. Since the incident it has not been started or moved as we were waiting for the police investigation which took months and months of us chasing it as it wasn't a serious matter and then to be told nothing could be done!
The battery is now totally dead, even though the battery was brand new beforehand.
