The Mercedes-Benz W114 and W115 were ranges of front-engine, rear-drive, five-passenger executive cars and coupes introduced by Mercedes-Benz in 1968 to succeed its W110 models introduced in 1961. Featuring squared-off modern three-box styling by Paul Bracq, they were manufactured until 1976, when the W123 was released. W114/W115s were distinguished in the marketplace by nameplates relating to their engine displacement. W114 models featured six-cylinder engines and were marketed as the 230.6, 250, and 280. W115 models featured four-cylinder engines and were marketed as the 200, 220, 230.4, and 240, with diesel models carrying a D designation, as distinct from petrol models. When Mercedes introduced the W114/115 ranges in 1968 they were marketed as New Generation Models, ultimately the only to receive that designation.
This wonderfully maintained and presented 230 W115 is offered in cream with a contrasting tan trim and was imported in 2016 by the first and only UK registered keeper from the dry conditions of South Africa via Portugal. Its original home holds the key to the condition and since it arrived in the UK in 2016 it has been dry stored and maintained with MoT test certificates mentioning tyres only which were subsequently replaced. Offered with a full book pack, three sets of keys, the service booklet showing stamps until 1985, a Mercedes data certificate and a log of the year-on-year mileage from 2000 until 2013. A particularly well-preserved example with enthusiast ownership over two continents, this example should be seen to be appreciated. Consigned by Mathew Priddy
