1994 MERCEDES-BENZ (C140) S500 COUPE

KEY FACTS

• This S500 Coupe is a well-preserved example of Mercedes’ luxury coupe, with relatively low mileage from new and a great specification.
• It features a 235kW / 320hp 5.0-litre naturally aspirated V8, paired with a four-speed automatic transmission.
• Originally delivered to Japan, it now resides in Australia.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• The C140 S-Class coupe is renowned for its comfort and convenience features, incorporating double-paned sound-proofed glass, electric memory seats with heating, dual-zone climate control, six-disc CD player, electric windows and mirrors, and headlight wipers.
• This car also features the optional wood trim on the steering wheel, as well as an electric glass sunroof.
• It now rides on the rare and desirable Lorinser wheels.
• The car has been well maintained and remains in highly original condition.

CONDITION

• There is no sign of any prior body damage.
• Mercedes’ original Brilliant Silver paintwork is in good condition all around, with a minor mark on the underside of the bumper, and small surface marks commensurate with the age. The clear coat on the passenger side rear quarter trim is beginning to peel.
• The leather interior with wood grain accents is in good order, with no excessive wear and a light ‘patina’ to the upholstery. Door and roof linings fit well and the other trims are presentable. The only visible damage is a cracked driver’s door lower speaker grille.
• Benefitting from routine maintenance, the car is reported to be mechanically sound and presents no warning lights.

SERVICE HISTORY

• A standard minor service was carried out at 87,000 km, and the car has covered less than 1,000 km since then.
• The Mercedes has received regular routine servicing during its time with the current owner.
