I recently bought a '85 420SEC with velour interior. Super rare for the USA market. Every Car's and Coffee / Car show I have taken mine to , the conversation goes straight to the velour interior and how cool / rare it is. I find the seats comfortable, but the rear package shelf area of the seats is a very fragile area due to the sun on the upholstery.1985 Mercedes-Benz 420SEC

@AndrewC I'm not sure if it's acceptable on MB Market to contact other members, but I guess I'll give it a shot. I now own this car. It has been fantastic. I drove it from Miami to Louisville, KY. I've probably put 2,000 miles on since I bought it. I'll be getting it ready for spring car shows. Did you own the car during the accidents listed on CarFax? Do you know how the damage was repainted. A car that age would be single stage paint originally. I am just researching what might be my best polishing products. The car looks and runs great.1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SEC w/48k Miles

Any plans to post a cold start video? Has the timing chain tensioner guide been replaced? And issues with the fuel injection? (Running rich or rough idling?). I assume with 20+ year old tires they'll need addressing, but have the brake system been worked on recently? Pads, disks, lines? I don't see any rust in the pics but are there any signs of rust bubbling? A cold start video would be very helpful. Looks like a decent example. Thank you in advance.1989 Mercedes Benz 560SL w/77k Miles

Do you have any photos of the hardtop? Do you have any concerns about driving this 700 miles, in particular, any oil usage and engine temp issues?
