AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Bodywork, Paint & Chrome
This 1980 Mercedes-Benz 300SD (W116) comes directly from the dry climate of California and is in an exceptionally hard, original and unmolested condition as visible in the photos of the underside. The black paint has, in the past, undergone a professional repaint; the finish still shines beautifully, but shows some light signs of wear consistent with its age. The body is completely rust-free and the car is equipped with new tires.
Mechanical & Technical Condition
Under the hood sits the 3.0-liter five-cylinder turbodiesel engine (OM617), paired with a smoothly shifting automatic transmission. The engine responds well, starts immediately and runs beautifully. With an odometer reading of only 128,000 miles, the car is mechanically in top condition and ready to drive away.
Interior & Equipment
The interior is finished in black, which together with the black exterior creates a beloved Black on Black combination. The cabin is in neat condition and features nice options such as an original Becker radio, air conditioning and power windows all around.
Documentation & Other Information
The Mercedes is supplied with the original sales invoice, the onboard tools and all original instruction manuals. The car sits on an American title. All import duties and VAT have already been paid. Because of its age, no COC document is required for registration within Europe. Viewing and pickup are possible in Damwoude, the Netherlands, and transport across Europe can be arranged by mutual agreement.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
