Original glass European headlights with amber corner lenses came standard as well as front quarter panel turn signals. Hydraulic power pop-up leather wrapped roll bars are mounted behind the rear passengers’ heads for rollover protection. Mercedes-Benz also strengthened the A-pillars for passenger safety. Black plastic impact strips line the front and rear bumpers and appear in good condition without any ashy finishes. The soft top does show some light wear in the fabric which is pointed out by the seller in the gallery. 

Refurbished 15” 8-hole alloy wheels are mounted on all four corners with Astral Silver matching center caps and new lug bolts. The seller mentiones the Dunlop Sport BluResponse tires are new and measure 195/65. The wheels have been refinished in preparation for the sale. ABS was standard as well as four wheel disc brakes with new brake calipers. 

The cabin is trimmed in Black Leather (261) across the seats, door cards, armrest, and dashboard. Additional leather-trimmed features include the steering wheel and shift knob. All leather surfaces are reported to be original and nicely kept. The Black dashboard is free from cracks along with the door cards and rear headrests. The center console, dash, and doors are trimmed in original Burl Walnut wood and show some light scratches under harsh light. Power front seats are optioned in this example and a period-correct Blaupunkt cassette head unit has replaced the original Becker. 

Framed by a 390mm Sportline leather wrapped steering wheel, the analog odometer shows just under 144k kilometers (89k miles). Instrumentation includes a 260-kph speedometer, a 8k-rpm tachometer with a 7,000-rpm redline, and an analog odometer with trip function. Additional gauges include fuel level, coolant temperature, and oil pressure along with an analog clock and digital external temperature gauge.

The 3.0-liter 24v M104 inline-six was rated for 220 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque when new. This car features the early M104 inline six known as the M104.980 which features a 7,000 RPM redline with a 10:1 compression ratio. A rare 5-speed Getrag manual gear box is bolted to the inline six.
