Description

The car presents well as an original machine that is painted in its original, rare colour way of Tobacco Brown over a Cream Leather interior.

Mechanically, the car is in very good shape and the recent bills with the SL Shop attest to this. The car instantly fires up when hot and shows good oil pressure when warm – the power steering pump was also noted as not being too loud.

The interior is charmingly original, and the original MB Tex seat covering is intact along with several original fixings that appear untampered with. The wood dash trim is original but has perished a little at the ends and the door cards have signs of heavy wear, but these are the only main issue areas.

There are a few small paint chips and marks as expected with age. A wonderful daily runner which drives superbly and represents great value for a collector enthusiast who wants to enjoy a truly classic car without needing to invest in it unless desired.
