I do like that shape S-Class but I think the rust like a son of a bitch, worse than Omegas. I suppose with next to no miles it should be pretty tidy assuming it's been kept indoors.

Pics will be good though :)

I would be doing an MoT history check once you know the reg... just to confirm the mileage... mats look a little older than 6.6k :-\

This firm is familiar to me for some reason, maybe they have previosly had a Lotus Carlton for sale.

They also had a 2000 728i for sale for £11k with 31k miles  ;D ;D ;D ;D I love the E38 7 Series but £11k for a 16 year old entry level poverty 7 is laughable.

My first fond memory of the S-Class was in 1999 following a brand new T-reg 320CDi that was lent to Top Gear Mag a friend and I followed in parallel with a 6ft gap at 50mph while a freelance motoring photographer hanging out of the boot. Took some concentration...

Certainly worth a look. :y

It all depends on your perspective.

£13995 for a Merc that is barely run in sounds a bargain. :y

However, £13995 for a 15 year old S class doesn't. ;)

My thoughts would be around £9995 if I really wanted one but I would sooner spend it on a V8 model.

Indeed... that sort of cash can buy you a very nice W221 or W126... if ithad to be a W220 then at least make it a facelift ::)

Yep.....£13995 sounds like 'think of a number and then add 50%'
