1994 Mercedes-Benz S500L V140
An extraordinary time capsule, this 1994 Mercedes-Benz S500L has travelled a mere 13,772 km from new, presenting in near-concours condition. Imported from Japan, it is an exceptional survivor that looks, feels, and even smells like a brand-new car.
Finished in Astral Silver with a black leather interior, it showcases Mercedes-Benz’s flagship luxury design at its very best. The paintwork is factory-original with no touch-ups or resprays, showing only a handful of tiny stone chips to the front bar. Inside, the leather, carpets, and trim are as-new, even down to the carpet overlay mats.
The heart of the car is its 5.0-litre V8, producing 320 horsepower with smoothness and quiet authority. Extensive servicing has been carried out at ultra-low mileage intervals, ensuring mechanical condition is first-class. Records show servicing at 3,979 km (1998), 5,224 km (2000), 6,748 km (2002), 8,199 km (2004), 8,842 km (2006), 9,510 km (2008), 9,795 km (2010), 10,382 km (2012), 11,278 km (2014), 11,907 km (2016), 12,905 km (2018), and 13,158 km (2020).
When new, the S500L represented the pinnacle of Mercedes-Benz engineering, with a price tag in excess of $300,000 AUD. Notable for its double-glazed windows, impeccable insulation, and advanced suspension, it set new standards in refinement and quietness. With a theoretical top speed of 285 km/h, the S500L combined limousine comfort with autobahn performance, making it one of the most advanced luxury sedans of its era.
The W140 series became a cultural icon of the 1990s, renowned as the car of choice for world leaders, celebrities, and business tycoons. Its imposing presence and unmatched refinement earned it the nickname “The Big Body Benz,” cementing its place in automotive history as one of Mercedes’ finest achievements.
