He ordered it in May 1995, and collected it from the factory in the July of that year. All documentation relating to this, including details of the flights, hotel stays and even the return Eurotunnel bookings are detailed in the vehicles extensive history file which documents its entire life. This file starts with the orginal order form documenting the £65,768.57 price tag, which back in 1995 would have bought you a rather nice house back then. I've owned this beautiful, and somewhat unique car since 2018, and have decided I wanted to sell it several times, and changed my mind as I'll never find another like it, but I've hardly used it and probably spent more time cleaning it!. The W140 is starting to come into its own now, as its widely regarderd by many in the know to be the most thouroghly engineered car of all time, asnd another Sacco masterpiece. Its one of those cars that looks better now, than it did when it was launched. MTSV CLASSIC MERCEDES MTSV (an abbreviation for Mark Taylor Specialist Vehicles) was born out an incurable and lifelong obsession for anything with four wheels on it, especially those carrying the legendary Three Pointed Star. Established by me, Mark Taylor in November 2005 when the Classic Car market was in its infancy and long before “everyman and his dog” had jumped on the Classic Car bandwagon. Specialising in Classic Mercedes from the late 1970’s, through to the 2000’s, I also frequently have the odd foray into other quality classics and sometimes even modern cars, however the qualification is always that it has to be interesting, and/or just a little different; my theory, which has served me well so far, is that if I like it, someone else probably will! My main specialisation is the legendary Mercedes W201 190 and Mercedes W124; I firmly believe these models were about as good as cars got in terms of sheer, teutonic quality, and believe them to be the best cars Mercedes have ever made. I’ve built up a substantial knowledge of both the W201 190 & W124 over many years, which I’m always happy to share, and have recently contributed to a W201 buying guide written by Julian Parish. I also have extensive experience of the most of the Mercedes models within my “band of interest” namely the W116, W123, W202 & W203 C-Class, W208 & W209 CLK, W210 & W211 E-Class, W126 & W140 S-Class, R170 & R171 SLK and the R129 SL-Class. Obviously as time goes on later models are coming onto my radar too. MTSV has always, and will always focus on quality rather than quantity, and in doing so has earned, and continues to maintain an enviable reputation among its many customers both in the UK and abroad, many who are now three, four and even five times repeat customers, some of which have become good friends too. I’m also listed in the Mercedes Club Directory as a recommended business and I’ve also had several of my rarer cars featured in the motoring press too.
