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 renowned for its legendary and indestructible engineering. Designed by acclaimed Paul Bracq, this model established the almost infinite durability reputation of the star’s diesel engines. The 220 D is equipped with the legendary 4-cylinder 2.2-liter OM615 engine, a mechanical masterpiece famous in the automotive world for extreme reliability, easily capable of surpassing one million kilometers with basic maintenance. In fact, a 240 D from the same generation holds one of the world mileage records for a car, with over 4.6 million kilometers traveled.
CARROCERÍA Y PINTURA:
Keeps its original graphite gray paint. It shows some cosmetic defects consistent with its age, such as discoloration on the original sliding sunroof cover.
MECÁNICA:
Equipped with its original 4-cylinder diesel engine and manual transmission, all original and in line with factory specifications. However, the vehicle has been out of circulation for several years and not in road use. Due to this period of inactivity, the car will require a full mechanical inspection and a thorough tune-up of all components and fluids before it can safely return to the road.
INTERIOR:
The cabin is completely original. It retains its factory velvet upholstery, which shows some light ordinary signs of wear from use and time.
DOCUMENTACIÓN:
Vehicle originally registered in Spain, Almería, in 1975. The vehicle is currently in a temporary withdrawal status for sale transfer, a normal administrative state for vehicles managed for sale. This does not hinder transfer of ownership: the buyer can purchase it without issue and, once registered in their name, put the vehicle back on the road through a simple and swift process with the DGT (vehicle registration, ITV inspection), typical for any vehicle that has been stationary for a while. All vehicle documents (registration permit and technical sheet) can be processed in duplicate format without complications, since the vehicle has no recorded liens or issues preventing 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 very beginning.
RECOGIDA:
The car is available for inspection and pickup in Borox (Toledo), Spain.
OTRA INFORMACIÓN:
A Mercedes-Benz classic with more than half a century of history, now available to its new owner. A unique opportunity for those seeking a vehicle with history, ready for a tune-up and 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.
