1972 Mercedes 280SE saloon, chassis number 108018 12 093861, LHD, automatic, 104,000 Km, Silver, unmarked Black MB Tex, air conditioning (currently disconnected), original in-car telephone.

Originally supplied by MB dealer T Gargour & Fils in Beirut to a Mr Fiad Hamde Idilby, registered on 24 April 1972, and came with him to UK in mid 1970's when he moved to London. Has spent most of its time since then in an underground car park in central London. Mr Idilby was believed to be the personal physician to King Fahd of Saudi Arabia, and the car is thought to have been a gift from the King.

The car is in amazingly good condition bodily, mechanically and cosmetically. The fuel system was completely overhauled by Greenvale MB specialists a couple of years ago and the car drives superbly. A small amount of mechanical and cosmetic work is required to make it perfect. We have the original service book showing regular servicing upto 1987, the handbook and factory data cards.
