Recently embarked on an 18-month extensive
mechanical refurbishment by the renowned
specialists at Thornley Kelham Ltd. of
Cirencester, UK. The work included a rebuild
of the engine, braking and suspension
systems, and the installment of the popular
EZ electric power steering system. The
system is easily reversible, and the original
steering column is accompanying the sale of
the car. Thornley Kelham would also attend
to many cosmetic aspects of the highly
original Mercedes-Benz, including much
attention to the paint and bright work. A
binder can be found in the cars history file,
describing the comprehensive work in detail.
Today, this luxurious Mercedes-Benz
presents very well throughout, and is
believed to have been cared for by just
five owners from new, and the odometer
reading of less than 107,000 kilometers is
indeed believed to be original. The 300S is
offered with an instruction manual and parts
book, tool set, jack, a copy of the original
Mercedes-Benz factory build sheet, and an
extensive history file containing many photos
and receipts from work performed on the
car. The interior features a set of beautifully
made luggage matching the cars original
interior color, and a luxurious Becker Mexico
Radio with auto-tune and Hirshman antenna.
