AUCTION CLOSED

1997 Mercedes-Benz 320 SL

Introduction

This has been my most solid and reliable car for some years, which reflects the care and attention of the previous owners I would imagine. It has been in weekly use over the last ~3 years, covering over ~12,000 miles in that time.

I have had this Mercedes 320 for over 3 years now: not bad considering it was really an unwanted px for my current generation Mustang!

I am selling it because I have no garaging available for it now, and it deserves to be looked after better than I can currently manage.

This listing was written from information supplied by XXXXX after meeting XXXXX the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

Market Auction

Trevor, the seller, has created this listing themselves using our free Market Auction tool. Unlike our Curated Auctions, we haven’t photographed the car or written the listing, however we have completed 3 important security checks for your peace of mind.

V5C Checked

Trevor provided a copy of the V5C logbook, which we verified against his photo ID for name and address confirmation.

From Trade Classics:

This is a Market Auction listing, meaning we have not visited and photographed the car - instead the seller has supplied the images and written the description. However we’ve done all our usual seller checks, including photo ID that matches the V5, and also actioned a history check on the vehicle - this is a professional check operated by HPi that will highlight if the car has been previously stolen, recorded as being in an accident, or have any outstanding finance - note, this does not include a mileage history check.

Viewings are welcomed, so please get in touch with us via the 'contact us' page - we just need to speak to you first on the phone, have you register on the site, and also send in valid photo ID before confirming a suitable time to visit.

Like all our auctions, if there's anything you're unsure about, no matter how small, then please first ask the owner in the comments area below before placing your bids, as bids can't be retracted and form a binding contract if you win the car - the Buyer's Premium is not refundable in any instance, just like a traditional auction house.
