Introduced in August 1991, the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class (codenamed W140) was a technological tour de force. Renowned for its wonderful build quality and refinement, it boasted such niceties as double pane window glazing and self-closing doors / boot. Based upon a rigid monocoque bodyshell equipped with all round independent suspension (double-wishbone front / multi-link rear), four-wheel disc brakes and power assisted steering, its imposing 'footprint' was belied by excellent road manners. A challenger for the title of 'best car in the world', the Stuttgart manufacturer's flagship could be had in standard saloon, long wheelbase or fixed head coupe guises. The subsequent W220 iteration of the S -Series, and former flagship of the Mercedes Benz line-up at the turn of the last century, is beginning to be appreciated due to their comfort and drivability. They offer a myriad of creature comforts and useful options 20 years later. Perhaps the S500 status as a classic is secure.

With 19,400 miles from new displaying on the odometer, this example of the Benz flagship shows just 2 former keepers from new, as shown on HPI. Finished in a Dark Blue Metallic known as Tanzanite Blue, the interior presents wonderfully in a complementing Cream leather. The front and rear number plates still wear the 'Alan Day' Mercedes dealer plate frames. It is being offered with the bookpack, handbooks and service book, the car was last serviced in 2019 at 13,398 miles.
