The left hand drive Mercedes - Benz was originally purchased by the late owner, whilst he was serving in the British Army in Germany, with the much loved car travelling with him during his military career. It also saw life in Cyprus and the Middle East, before he undertook an epic journey across the continent to bring the car back to blighty.
