A vintage Mercedes that belongs to one of the biggest punk icons in the world has emerged for sale for £70,000.<br />
<br />
The classic 280SE dates back to 1971 but has spent close to 30 years in the ownership of Hugh Cornwell - former lead singer in The Stranglers.<br />
<br />
Despite punk's reputation for 'sticking it to the establishment', the Mercedes offers the height of comfort and luxury.<br />
<br />
Cornwell bought it in 1992, when aged in his 40s, his bad-boy days were largely behind him and he had left the band two years earlier.<br />
<br />
He has kept it ever since and has invested heavily keeping up to the highest standards.
