Nice clean example of an iconic 80s SL here. The honest, straightforward presentation is a plus in my book. These US bumper 450's have really been undervalued and I think good ones like this are super smart buys. Nice job by the seller - GLWA!
I see the significant fading in the pinstriping all around the car. Is there clear coat failure as well? One would suspect that to occur if the pinstripe had deteriorated so uniformly as it has here. If not, has any prior clear coat failure been touched up? Any other paintwork/touch-up work that has occurred on the car that should be noted? Thanks!
