History

The car comes with all the original handbooks, along with the stamped service booklet within the correct Mercedes Benz leather case.

Some previous MOT’s make up part of the paperwork history, and show that the car has covered very little mileage in the last 3 years, as it was a second car which had very little use, purely used on sunny days.
