Description
A timeless beauty: The Mercedes-Benz 200 - from the Netherlands and from its first owner The story of this Mercedes-Benz 200 begins in Rotterdam, with a man at the helm of a remarkably successful and growing construction company. He and his son worked hard to secure the future of their business, and their efforts were richly rewarded. The company grew exponentially and attracted prestigious clients. At a certain point, father and son realised that their old van, a faithful companion for many years, was no longer fit for purpose. For their meetings with these important clients, they needed a vehicle that reflected their success and professionalism.
That's how they ended up at the Mercedes-Benz Victoria dealership in Rotterdam. There, in the showroom, was this magnificent Mercedes-Benz 200. A car that not only exuded elegance, but also embodied reliability and prestige - exactly what they needed to impress at their business meetings. With this car, they could arrive at meetings with confidence and flaunt their professional status.
After many years of faithful service, the father died and the son inherited the Mercedes. For him, the car was not just a means of transport, but a precious memento of his father and their joint efforts to build a successful business. He continued to preserve and cherish the car for over 13 years, until we were honoured to take it over and include it in our collection.
This Mercedes-Benz 200 not only carries the history of a family business, but also symbolises the timeless elegance and craftsmanship of Mercedes.
A Mercedes that has stood the test of time It's rare to find a car that has stood the test of time as well as this Mercedes-Benz 200. With over 30 years of maintenance in the same garage, this model epitomises quality and perfection. A car that has clearly been pampered and is still in the hands of owners who appreciate its value. This is evidenced by the stamps carefully affixed to its maintenance booklet, now supplemented by a second booklet since 2015 - exceptional proof of meticulousness and care.
This history makes this Mercedes not only a magnificent classic car, but also a reliable companion for the future. Ready for many years of driving pleasure, it represents an investment in a piece of automotive history, combining reliability and style.
A car of exceptional cleanliness, ready for any adventure For its age, this Mercedes-Benz 200 is a car of rare elegance. Its condition is beyond reproach. Its maintenance history speaks volumes: no compromises have been made. Despite having the smallest engine in its range, it should not be underestimated. We tested the car thoroughly and can say with certainty that it drives as smoothly as it did on day one. The engine runs smoothly, the steering is responsive, and every drive feels comfortable and robust.
The history of the Mercedes-Benz 200 since 1975 The Mercedes-Benz 200 is part of the famous W123 series, introduced in 1975 and quickly becoming synonymous with reliability, comfort and elegance. The model was praised for its robust build quality, safety innovations and exceptional driving experience.
The Mercedes 200, in particular, represented a more affordable option in the W123 range, with a modest engine but enough performance for everyday use. Even today, its elegance, driving comfort and reliability are felt as soon as you get behind the wheel.
An unrivalled driving experience Behind the wheel of this Mercedes-Benz 200 is an experience that transcends the simple act of driving. From the moment you turn the key and hear the engine purr, you feel the history and craftsmanship that inhabit this car.
