Restoration by Mercedes-Benz
The vehicle was completely restored at the Mercedes-Benz classic car centre between 2011 and 2013. The aim was to restore it to its original production condition as of 1971. Wherever possible, exclusively original Mercedes-Benz replacement parts and replacement units were used.
Scope of the restoration:
- Bodywork completely refurbished, all panels renewed or repaired
- Complete repainting of the interior, exterior and hardtop in silver metallic
- All line systems renewed: brakes, fuel, exhaust, electrics
- Axles completely overhauled, all wear parts replaced
- Shock absorbers, fuel pump and power steering pump renewed
- All engine valves, including the cylinder head, reworked
- All chrome parts newly electroplated
- All instruments overhauled by a specialist workshop
- Seats with headrests, door panels: original blue leather (authorised upholsterer)
- Floor carpets completely renewed, including the luggage compartment
- Transmission completely overhauled and renewed
- Underbody protection renewed by an authorised specialist workshop in accordance with regulations
On 04.03.2014, DEKRA prepared an assessment for obtaining the new operating permit. The achieved original condition was certified. Registration on 23.04.2014.
An assessment can be provided at the buyer's request.
Since the restoration, the vehicle has only been driven 4,200 km for transfers and has been displayed for extended periods at various classic car exhibitions.
Notes
The vehicle is equipped with an original Mercedes-Benz replacement unit (odometer reading 46,800 km).
The vehicle was stolen at one point in its history (2009). The Berlin State Criminal Police Office secured it in 2010 and conclusively established its identity through forensic examination. Daimler-Benz AG subsequently acquired the vehicle and carried out the complete restoration.
The original colour was champagne, and the original interior was brown. The repainting and new interior were carried out as part of the restoration at Mercedes-Benz.
Extensive restoration documentation and invoices will be handed over where available.
