This amazing 1978 Mercedes was brought to the UK from Spain in 2017. Bought from a collection it was as the most solid W116 that could be found, it was prepared for the 2018 Cuba rally. An enormous amount of money was spent to make sure the car was totally reliable and all consumable items were replaced including; Spark Plugs Prop Shaft Coupling Gear Lever Bushes Belt idler Pulley Front Crankshaft Seal Front shock absorbers Rear Shock absorbers Steering Damper Engine Mountings Front Brake Pads Rear Brake Pads V Belt Head Gasket Fuel Pump Distributor Cap Distributor Master Cylinder Slave Cylinder Front and rear wheel bearings Fuel Filter A/ C Belt Plug Leads Thermostat Radiator Cap Ignition Coil Track rod ends Engine Hoses Valve Stem Seals As you can imagine with all of this work the car drives like new and is a pleasure to be behind the wheel. In preparation for the rally a sump guard was also fitted, this car is ready for its next adventure. At some point in the cars life the colour was changed from blue to red, an excellent job was made and all door shuts and engine bay are in body colour. The alloy wheels are immaculate and all 4 tyres are new.
