@DanS ohhhh, ok, that never never happens in America. Not even at the Mercedes dealership,Usually when doing regular maintenance they also write down the kilometers in the service book. In Europe is mandatory.@DanS how would someone writing in a booklet certify the milage?@DanS nothing happened. I don’t see what you’re seeing.Compared to the passenger door I noticed that the driver's door is not aligned with the rest of the body lines. Something happened to it?$14,500 bid placed by @JoekerG

The car's service booklet is filled out up to date so that it certifies the mileage it has?@Cookingonline - Hi, I haven't found the photos of the car's undercarriage yet. You didn't take pictures of her getting up on the elevator?$11,250 bid placed by @JoekerG
@Andrii It would be possible. I’m leaving town Saturday afternoon and won’t be back until Monday night. My email is [email protected]@Clutch The brake does need to be engaged to use the top. It would also come on if you turn the Key and not start the car as well as when you do start it for a few moments.$10,250 bid placed by @MYAMG1962
@Seller Hi. Would it be possible to meet this weekend so I can take a look at the car?Hello, looks like the Brake Light is on in some pics. If i remember right, either the parking brake is set, or the brake fluid could be low. Do you typically set the parking brake? Thanks$10,000 bid placed by @rancati

I also want to add that the pull down cover to the center console is jammed. I’m too afraid to pull hard on it,@MercedesDad the damping system does work. I took pics of the car both up and down. I also got a pic of the visors and roll bar leather. It’s perfect. The lights between the 2 visors aren’t coming on. I’ll look for the fuse. I’ll post the pics with some help of the owner of MB.@WyomingOutlaw I took a better pic of it. It’s molded plastic so it’s not “bent”. There’s a 2 inch crack on the right side and a screw that’s not attached. The part of it on the left side of the car it is attached. I’ll post the pic when I figure out how.@DanS I took some videos of the undercarriage and post it as soon as I figure out how. Haha@Cookingonline - per photo #19, is the front bumper cover scraped and distorted and not symmetrical? If so, how did it happen and ca we see more closely?$9,250 bid placed by @MercedesDad

She’s in good condition it seems, especially after all the recent work. Looks good!Hi, some photos with the undercarriage please?@Cookingonline oh, there are no leaks.@MercedesDad hey Dad! I’ll snag some pics of the roll bar, it’s in perfect condition. The previous owner had the hood pad replaced and I made sure the photographer got a pic of its 9/10 condition. The a/c is perfect, as well as the visors. I’ve never pushed the up down button, but I will and let you know. The hydraulics were redone by Ledbetters in Tampa. They only work on Mercedes. European Performance is who recently did the suspension work. At any day they have $100mil in cars they are working on. You should go walk through their garages!!!! Haha just gorgeous vehicles.$8,250 bid placed by @rancati
Hi Dave, First of all, SWEET SL. I've owned a couple V12 R129 and I understand what you mean from reading your first post. They're sublime driving machines when all is well, yet they require extra "attention" than your average Mercedes when something breaks. - How would you describe the condition of the hood pad? - Would you be able to share more photos or a description of the condition of the leather on roll bar? - Maybe I missed it. Have the roof hydraulics been replaced in recent years? - Does the hydraulic suspension go up and down as intended? - Does it sag when parked for long periods of time? - Any leaks? - How are the sun visors and their mirror covers? - How's the A/C? Thank you in advance! (Love St. Pete by the way. We don't live far and often bring the kids to visit my in-laws who live very close to that park LOL!)$8,000 bid placed by @Ecceblack
@Cookingonline the wooden steering wheel was an optional upgrade for that year and model.@DanS Ever since I bought the car it’s been wooden.@DanS Hello, yes it is. It folds up and is currently folded and in the back area.I see that the car currently has a wooden steering wheel, but in one of the videos on YouTube it had a normal steering wheel. Did you changed it and put a wooden one? If the answer is positive, the steering wheel is an original 600 SL?Hi, the hard top support is included in the auction price?$6,000 bid placed by @rancati

Hello, I’m Dave and this is my car. I absolutely love it and really hate to sell it but it’s the best for me AND the car. Typical, my job switched up and I’m only around 1/3 of the year. I keep it in storage with a bunch of other collector cars that other individuals own. The feel of the wooden steering wheel really gets you going when you sit in it. The interior is pristine and the older man I bought it from wasn’t going to let me sit in it if I had buttons on my back pockets. Haha. He was putting about 100 miles a year on it. For all the reasons that’s great there’s all the reasons it isn’t. Once it started to get used just 1000 miles a year some things failed but that was expected and I had it fixed. The car runs effortlessly! My mechanic shop will have $100mil plus in fine cars they are working on at any one moment and the owner said to me “they just don’t make them this good anymore”. That gave me serious considerations to not selling. But here we are. Whoever gets it will be in love. I’m not a super technical car guy but I’ll do my best to answer all questions. All the best, Dave$5,000 bid placed by @Ecceblack
