The seller offers for sale a 1968 Mercedes-Benz 200D, a diesel-powered sedan from the W110/W115 era, known for durability and understated engineering. This example is powered by a 1,988 cc four-cylinder diesel engine paired with a manual gearbox. The car was restored some years ago and has since been used sparingly, preserving its overall appearance and mechanical integrity.
The exterior presents with bright, shiny paintwork and only minimal imperfections. Chrome details show slight traces of corrosion, but nothing beyond cosmetic significance. The body is straight, with no evidence of accident history, and retains the robust character of the W110/W115 models. The underside is described as solid, showing only superficial surface rust consistent with age but no structural corrosion.
The interior has been restored in line with period-correct materials and design. Seats, panels, and dashboard present in good condition, with only small defects visible on close inspection. The upholstery retains a clean, well-preserved appearance, maintaining the original atmosphere of the car.
Mechanically, the 200D is reported to be in strong condition. The engine starts without difficulty, produces no smoke or unusual noises, and the gearbox shifts smoothly. Due to limited use in recent years, minor servicing or adjustments may be advisable, but the car is described as roadworthy and mechanically solid. Lights, indicators, and brake systems function correctly, and it carries a valid inspection certificate.
Imperfections are limited to minor chrome corrosion, small interior defects visible in detail photographs, and superficial surface rust on the underside. These issues are typical of the age and do not affect structural or mechanical integrity. Due to its low use since restoration, the car may benefit from a basic mechanical tune-up, but otherwise presents as a well-preserved, usable example.

The description of this car is, to the best of the seller’s knowledge, accurate and not misleading. Route 66 Auctions requests a range of detail about the car from the seller and performs a level of due diligence. However, potential buyers must independently satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of the description. We strongly advise potential buyers to view or arrange inspections as well as conduct any research they feel is necessary before committing to bid or buy.
Please note that it is not uncommon for classic or collectible cars to have received cosmetic repairs in the past, to rectify damage or refresh appearance, and this work may be hard to see even upon visual inspection. Unless there is an explicit statement by the seller to the contrary, please assume that any vehicle could have had bodywork or paintwork. Photographs may not reflect the exact true colour or exact full condition of the vehicle. It is a bidder’s responsibility to assure themselves of the colour and condition of a vehicle, including its interior and the existence of any remedial bodywork or paintwork, before committing to bid or buy.
