Hey everyone, I am the son of the original owners. My parents custom ordered and purchased the car new, and I (begrudgingly) helped them prepare the car and sell it on another auction site, where the current owner acquired it. I helped them with their initial inspection at delivery as I am a car enthusiast and OCD about quality, and I have known this car well until last year when the new owner took possession. The car was delivered to my parents when I was in my late teens and it would be a decade before I drove it (with them in the car); this car has been babied, adult driven, and meticulously cared for its entire life by my parents and from what I understand, the current owner. My parents saw themselves as stewards of this rare coupe and only put it up for sale because they were not driving it enough and hoped someone else could enjoy it and care for it as they had. The paint is all original; the car has never been in an accident or had any authorized paintwork performed. There are a number of other images and videos from the previous sale and on YouTube that attest to the quality and uniformity of the original silver MB paint, and the quality of the vehicle. The seller refers to my dad's integrity and sincerity, and I can honestly say he (my dad, the original owner) values integrity above all else; he had nothing to gain by deceiving anyone and would have bought the car back if the current owner had found any inconsistencies or issues that were undisclosed. If I had the garage space to give this beautiful car the care it deserves I would have bought it in a heartbeat last year instead of listing it, and frankly I considered bidding on it during this auction to bring it back to the family, but I can't give this low mileage beauty the care it deserves. Finally: I posted this TLDR story of my own volition. I have nothing to gain from the sale of the car and while the seller has been in touch with my parents to verify authenticity, I have not been in contact with him. The seller has not requested nor have my parents requested this post. I just wanted everyone to understand that this is the real deal; an unmolested original example of one of the best driving and best looking coupes ever produced by any manufacturer. Happy bidding and happy motoring to the new owner.
