SUMMARY

A very special car indeed! I bought this car from its only owner, who bought it new back in April 1997 from Lancaster Mercedes, Sheffield for just shy of £40,000. He told me he'd previously bought a manual version, but couldnt get on with it, so had to wait quite a while for this one. He kept the car right up to May 2022, racking up most of the the very low 29,000 miles  in the first few years of ownership, more laterly the car was garage kept and used infrequently for special occasions, hence the very low mileage.

My second ever Mercedes was a W202 C230 Kompressor Sport, back in 2001, so I know how quick these cars are. The optional AMG options, give the car an extra dimension, so this is quite some machine, and very rare too. Its got some real Road Presence too, and certainly attracts some admiring looks; I used this car for a couple of weeks and was very suprised by the thumbs up and comments I received from other drivers, which confirms my theory that the W202 C-Class has "come of age" 

More details coming soon,but please note this car wont be ready until early 2023. 

THE MTSV DIFFERENCE

Unlike some, I don’t just simply go out, buy any old car, give it a good clean, then advertise it for more than the purchase price, disregarding any issues the car may have in the hope the new buyer won’t notice…I just couldn’t do that. The cars I source are carefully selected and I work very hard so that when my cars leave me, I have the satisfaction of knowing they are as good as they possibly can be within the constraints I have. As such I have many repeat customers and new customers that have been recommended via word of mouth…the ultimate accolade for anyone in business. To read more, see my website at: wwww.mtsv.co.uk

Any other questions, please feel free to contact me at using the button below or on the details below. I'm a firstly and foremostly a true car enthusiast of many, many years, and a Mercedes Club Member, so it's a pleasure to meet and speak to like-minded people.

Finally, I'm situated in Keighley, West Yorkshire (Postal Code Area BD21) which is approximately 11 miles from Skipton, and 20 miles West of Leeds.

All major debit/ credit cards accepted.

Thanks for reading my advert!
