Originally imported from Switzerland, this beloved classic has a remarkable maintenance record for its first 15 years and 200,000 km. From 2009, when it found its way to the Netherlands, it has been cared for with great care, as evidenced by consistent MOT checks and maintenance. With a valid MOT until 2025, this beauty is ready to hit the road. The powerful engine runs flawlessly and offers an exhilarating driving experience. Although there is a small oil leak from the right valve cover gasket, this is within acceptable limits. The transmission shifts smoothly, indicating the car's exceptional mechanical condition. Step inside and discover an immaculate interior, with beautiful wood paneling, clean seats and an array of functional gadgets. From power windows and heated seats to power adjustable mirrors, every aspect has been maintained with great care. The car exudes a timeless charm, with even the cigarette lighter in unused condition. Externally, this Mercedes shines with re-sprayed paint, making it look exceptionally clean. The only area of concern is a small rust spot near the right rear propeller point. Complete with original manuals and documentation, as well as all receipts from MOT checks and maintenance, this 1983 Mercedes-Benz 500SE is a valuable asset for any collector or enthusiast. It offers a joyful driving experience and brings you closer to the feel of a classic car sitting in the showroom. To get a good idea of the lot, we recommend coming to the viewing day.
