The following is the link for the brochure and window sticker of the car showing all the options. https://imgur.com/a/fEeL4HHGood afternoon, Thank you for taking an interest in my car. I purchased the car to add to my collection a few years back but since then things have changed and I need the garage space for more cars. I have not driven the car much, just on summer evenings around town. It has been garage kept and covered the whole time I have owned it. Since I took ownership, the car has been serviced at a local Mercedes Benz dealership. The car is in near perfect condition. It drives wonderfully and I have not had one issue with it. The color combination for me is the best thing about this car. That Cashmere purplish/gray paint is very unique and pops in the evening light. While doing some research on the car, I came across the original brochure for the Cashmere Edition which I will upload below along with the window sticker. It is interesting to note that according to the brochure, the interior of this card was handcrafted. Good luck bidding and please me know if you have any questions on concerns.
