1967 Mercedes-Benz 200 Fintail
A beautifully preserved example of one of Mercedes-Benz’s most recognisable designs.
Finished in Light Blue, this 200 Fintail remains remarkably original and has never undergone a full restoration. While it has received some paint touch-ups over the years, a fair portion of its original paintwork remains. The original chrome is still vibrant and presents beautifully, complementing the car’s wonderful period appearance.
Inside, the originality continues. The original interior remains in very good condition, with the seats, dashboard and carpeting all presenting incredibly well for a vehicle approaching 60 years old.
Under the bonnet sits its original 2.0-litre engine, which remains lively, responsive and ready to be enjoyed on the road.
We are not presenting this vehicle as perfect, nor are we trying to. Its appeal lies in the fact that it is an honest, highly original car that has never been comprehensively restored or stripped of the character it has developed over nearly six decades.
The vehicle is licensed and registered and ready for its next owner to enjoy.
It turns heads wherever it goes and now simply needs a new custodian who will love, cherish and preserve it, making sympathetic improvements where necessary while retaining the originality that makes this particular Fintail so special.
Viewing is available at Basseille Classics in Edenvale, Johannesburg, strictly by appointment.

FAQs for classic car buyers
Basseille Classics provides thorough pre-purchase inspections to ensure that you know exactly what you’re buying. We assess the vehicle’s condition, authenticity, and value to help you make an informed decision. Our expert advice helps you understand whether the asking price is fair based on the car’s true worth.
We only work with classic cars that meet high standards of quality. Our inspections cover both mechanical and exterior details, and we provide high-resolution images and videos to give you a complete picture of the car’s condition. If anything needs attention, we’ll let you know and can help you negotiate the price accordingly.
When we buy on your behalf, we’ll handle price negotiations. This process keeps the buyer anonymous during price negotiations, especially when the buyer is living abroad. Whatever amount we negotiate, we share 50/50% to ensure you get the best price possible.
The timeline varies depending on factors such as the availability of the vehicle, your location, the clearing of funds and any necessary inspections or negotiations. However, Basseille Classics works efficiently to ensure that the process moves as quickly as possible while still giving you all the necessary information to make an informed decision.
