The V140 literally drives like it is floating on air. A legendary vehicle from an era when budget played a significantly lesser role in development, material quality, and construction. As the first S-Class with a V12 engine and, for many, one of the best S-Classes ever built, the W140 continues to embody a very special era of Mercedes-Benz.

An exceptionally well-preserved S600 L for enthusiasts and collectors, which, given its now 30 years of age, presents in an almost like-new overall condition. Extensive investments have already been made, so the next owner will not be faced with a typical maintenance backlog. Thanks to its H-plate, the V140 also benefits from the flat-rate classic car vehicle tax.

Not a distress sale. Please make contact only if you are serious and provide your full name and a telephone number. Inquiries without a name or with unrealistic price expectations will not be answered.
