When was body/paint work done? What rust repairs were completed? Do the vacuum elements that actuate the defrost/dash/floor vents work properly? I have owned a 1972 350sl for decades and these are underappreciated. I prefer it to my 1988 560sl. Any known mechanical issues? Any fluid leaks?
Can't see all details on repair invoices. Is body/paint work invoice attached? When was paint work done? Any pictures of body when work was done? Dash have any cracks? Do the HVAC vacuum elements all work properly?
My daily driver is a 560sec. I have driven this car and it is better than advertised. This shop specializes in classic Mercedes. They have several sec in their inventory and several clients for service. They know what they are doing. The lower cladding is near perfect, better than my car. I didn't see anything this car needed.
I know the owner and this shop. Both very honest and reliable. I own several 107 chassis. This car is investment quality. No noises or leaks of any kind. Shop suspects the mileage is actually kilometers but couldn't prove it. Might be around 20k miles? Sure drives like it.
Please provide pictures of under carriage. Please provide detail of what does not work including ac vents, power windows, sunroof, everything that does not work as designed. Any fluid leaks? We are interested in restoring this car but need to know what we are tackling mechanically and rust. I can see the cosmetic needs. Thanx
does AC work? does the fan blow the air out of the proper vents when adjusted from floor to face to defrost?
car is original paint and interior. The only work I can see is what was done to prep for sale. This truly looks, feels, and smells like it is one year old with no mileage.
I have seen this car several times when europeanstarr was prepping it for sale. I have driven this car, it needs absolutely nothing. I wanted to see what Bruno Sacco designed as his farewell. He designed the 560sec models that I have driven for the last 2+ decades as daily driver. DISCLOSURE- europeanstarr does all the mechanical work on all my Mercedes. They have expert mechanics for the older models that I own. I can't say enough about how they work and how they take care of customers.
