Beautiful W140 S320 With Rare Interior Option
Hi everyone, I just wanted to share a video I made of my W140 which I sold about a year ago.
Some things about this car:
Some things about this car:
- This car was first owned by a former vice president of the Philippines.
- It was subsequently owned by 2 other politicians, before being owned by me, a 3rd year university student (so I consider myself lucky)
- I sold it to another individual from a family with a political background in Leyte province.
- It was imported brand new into the Philippines in 1997/1998 as a Philippine Centennial Expo's (I presume) service/dignitary car.
- I bought this car for a really amazing price for the country, so it may not be anywhere as cheap for our friends over in the US, Canada, or Europe, but for the country, it surely is one of the best deals of the century.
- It only has 80,701Km on the clock.
- Despite the horrendous condition of our roads in the country, this car was extremely well maintained, I barely had to pay for any repairs aside from the minor issues I mentioned in the video. All in all, I only spent around 5000 PHP or 100 USD in repairs.
- It has the extremely rare (at least for the country: interior option code 518) which adds Nappa leather interior with square patters instead of the regular Y pattern, and Alcantara-like headliners. This seems to be common in the S600s, but I rarely ever come across S320s with this type of interior.
- It does NOT have the soft-close doors.

1995 Mercedes S320 W140
I own a 1995 Mercedes s320 SWB myself. I believe that those seats you have were options, they are the ones with the adjustable bolsters in them, but don't trust me too much on that. I know that my car has the soft close delete also, and I read that it was deleted on Australian cars, and specifically the 1995 s320's only. Beautiful car.

Unfortunately, my car does not have adjustable side bolsters

04 CL & S600 designo Espresso's
Beautiful. That pattern was available on the S600 (with articulation std), and the S500 Grand Edition in the states. Sadly, like so many other cool configurations and upgrades available in other countries, but not offered in the US.
