228 1986 Mercedes Benz 420 SEC Two door coupé Vin No WDB26046A239370 Engine No 1696522014073 Veh Reg No BNV003F Licence No CJ 74078 R100 000 – 150 000 The Mercedes Benz W126 design introduced a series of flagship vehicles in 1979 that set impressive new standards of technological refinement, safety and comfort, earning worldwide recognition and acclaim. The twelve year manufacturing run ostensibly ended in 1991, though it is interesting to note that some production continued at the Mercedes Benz South African plant for a further 2+ years. The 420 SEC was a 4.2 litre V8 engined two- door coupé version that came into being in 1985. The pillarless coupé was a comprehensively equipped express, providing comfortable accommodation for four adults with excellent ride and handling. This particular example is finished in ‘Pajett Red’ (a metallic maroon) with beige velour upholstery. It is reported to be in excellent condition throughout, the list of equipment includes automatic transmission, tilt and slide steel sunroof, electric memory seats, radio/ CD unit, remote central locking/alarm, ABS, cruise control and alloy wheels. Recorded mileage is 77406, with full service history, the last service having been at 71452 miles. 229 2002 Volvo S40 2.0 1 Saloon Vin No YV1VS17K92L860260 Engine No B4204S2732174 Veh Reg No GVK652W Licence No CL 22454 R50 000 – 80 000 The S40 was Volvo’s highly acclaimed compact executive saloon first introduced in 1995. In 2000 the 40 series was upgraded with a number of technical improvements - new engine management system, larger disc brakes, better suspension and steering, all of which served to enhance Volvo’s reputation as a commendably ‘safe’motor car. The condition of this S40 is commensurate with the remarkably low mileage of 48890 km, with full service history. Immaculate in white, with black leather interior, it is a high spec vehicle featuring automatic transmission, electric windows and mirrors, up-market sound system and mag wheels. An opportunity, perhaps, to acquire sensible, safe and practical transport in virtually new condition. 229 230 No Lot 63
