AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

GENERAL:
Mercedes-Benz - 220 D W115 - 1975. Odometer reading: 38,787 km. This particular unit was originally registered in Almería in 1975, thus preserving its vintage value and history in Spain. The Mercedes‑Benz W115, popularly known as part of the “/8” Strich-Acht saga for its 1968 launch year, is famous for its legendary and indestructible engineering. Designed by the acclaimed Paul Bracq, this model established the reputation for near-infinite durability of the star’s diesel engines. The 220 D is equipped with the legendary 4‑cylinder 2.2‑liter OM615 engine, a powertrain renowned in the automotive world for extreme reliability, easily capable of surpassing one million kilometers with basic maintenance. In fact, a 240 D of this same generation holds one of the world mileage records for a car, with more than 4.6 million kilometers traveled.

BODYWORK AND PAINT:
Maintains its original graphite gray paint. Shows some aesthetic defects consistent with its age, such as fading on the original sliding roof panel.

MECHANICS:
Fitted with its original 4‑cylinder diesel engine and manual transmission, all components are original and in line with factory specifications. However, the vehicle has been off the road for several years and has not been driven recently. Due to this period of inactivity, the car will require a full mechanical inspection and an exhaustive tuning of all components and fluids before being safely started again.

INTERIOR:
The cabin is completely original. It retains its factory velvet upholstery, which shows some light wear consistent with use and the passage of time.

DOCUMENTATION:
Vehicle originally registered in Spain (Almería) in 1975. The vehicle is currently listed as temporarily off the road for delivery to a buyer, a common and completely normal administrative status for vehicles managed for sale. This does not hinder the transfer of ownership: the buyer can purchase it without issue and, once in their name, put the vehicle back into circulation following a simple and efficient procedure with the DGT (vehicle registration, ITV inspection), as is usual for any vehicle that has been inactive for a period. All of the vehicle’s documentation (driving license and technical sheet) can be processed in duplicate format without complications, as the vehicle has no registered liens or incidents that would prevent it. It is delivered with the official report from the Dirección General de Tráfico, verifiable with its Verification Code, so the buyer has full transparency about its administrative status from the outset.

PICKUP:
The car is available for inspection and pickup in Borox (Toledo), Spain.

OTHER INFORMATION:
A Mercedes‑Benz classic with more than half a century of history, now available for its new owner. A unique opportunity for those seeking a car with history, ready for tuning and a return to the road.

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.
