Basic information and History
Beautiful Swedish-sold Mercedes Compact Coupe W114 in a well-maintained condition and well-documented ownership history.
The car has a classic color combination of white with a black leather interior. The torquey straight 6-cylinder engine of 150 hp is connected to a 4-speed automatic gearbox driving the rear wheels.
In the early 2000s, the car underwent an extensive mechanical renovation and it still works exactly as it should.
The first owner was a lieutenant who bought it new in Stockholm 69/70 and then sold it in 1976. The next owner had the car for almost 30 years until he died in 1999. The third user also owned the car for the rest of his life for another 20 years and carried out extensive renovation work and maintenance. During this period, the car was mostly in a garage and was used very sparingly. Since then, three additional owners have had the pleasure of enjoying this fine coupé and have taken care to keep it in good condition.

Summary
It is unusual to find an old MB coupe with such low miles, good condition, and well-documented history. These cars were built to last forever and with proper care, they have proven that claim still stands. This is a good opportunity to acquire a classic that, despite its age, has a large part of its life ahead of it with only ongoing maintenance.
