2005 MERCEDES-BENZ (W203) C180 COUPE - 16,466 MILES

KEY FACTS

• It is powered by a supercharged 141bhp 1.8-litre inline-four, coupled to a five-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels.
• Just three owners from new, the most recent for the last three years.

EQUIPMENT AND OPTIONS

• Finished in Bright Blue metallic paint, this car was ordered with full Light Grey leather upholstery, and aluminium-style interior trim.

• The complete book pack is present, along with two keys, first aid kit, tools, and spare-saver spare wheel.

CONDITION

• Its bodywork is all original and the blue paintwork is reported to be excellent overall; however, the paint has been scuffed by contact around the front left wheel arch, there are a few very minor nicks and chips around the lower body as shown in the gallery, plus a small grazed on the passenger-side mirror case.
• The Light Grey leather interior is in superb order, with only minor wear on the driver’s seat outer bolster, and slight discolouration to the door panels. The rear seats look pristine.
