In October 1965, Hertha and Adolf S. from Villach acquired this Mercedes W 111, the S-Class of that time. Back then, such a large car was something very special. Apparently they cared for the car very diligently and used it regularly, but sparingly, until 1994; the car was then taken off the road and stored for around 10 years. Mileage approximately 51,000 KM.


The story continues in 2004, when our customer, a true automotive enthusiast, bought the car for his collection. In the following years he also used the car regularly, but rather sparingly due to the large number of vehicles he owned. Nevertheless, he had regular repair and maintenance work carried out at Mercedes-Benz, all properly documented with invoices.


In 2005, at approximately 53,000 KM, the odometer had to be replaced, and a further approximately 21,500 KM were added, bringing the total recorded mileage to approximately 74,500 KM.


The Mercedes presents itself wonderfully; its presence is superb. You get in, are surprised by how comfortable the seats are, how beautifully the leather feels, and set off. The engine pulls strongly, the column shift works perfectly, and the steering, suspension and brakes somehow do not suggest that you are driving a vehicle nearly 60 years old, as I myself was able to enjoy over more than 300 KM.


The collection is currently being restructured and slightly reduced, giving another enthusiast the opportunity to acquire this exceptionally well-preserved car. We are selling the car on behalf of the customer.
