An immaculate C350 Estate with just 41k miles from new. Metallic grey with light brown leather trim and very high spec.

The C350 is an interesting model. It’s 3.5-litre V6 petrol engine delivers around 300bhp, so this is a rapid car, yet remarkably fuel efficient, offering over 40mpg on a run. Being Euro 5 petrol it’s also ULEZ (and other clean air zone) compliant.

Just imported from Japan where it has enjoyed the better climate and has never seen road salt, meaning the underside of these cars are like new. Japan’s strict Shaken test with mandatory servicing means their cars are usually better maintained than UK cars too.

Most C and E Classes we import from Japan are either black, white or silver, so it’s great to get this car in grey with light brown leather. The car has the usual fabulous specification including memory/heated seats, power tailgate, rear view camera, climate control, xenons and navigation, plus the desirable AMG styling pack and wheels. See below for the full spec.

The radio/navigation unit has been reprogrammed to UK/Euro spec so works identically to a UK supplied car.

Comes with two keys, original books and service history. Just been serviced.

The bodywork is exceptional; the unmarked wheels wear new matching Continental tyres. The interior is almost indistinguishable from new.

Road tax (at the time of writing) is only £360 per annum.

This really is a tremendously useful car – fast, refined, remarkably frugal, practical, stylish and a conveniently compact size. Incredible value for money in a world where the smallest new hatchbacks cost approaching £20k.
