We also have an extensive file of restoration and maintenance invoices dating back to the 1990s. In 2011, the car benefited from a high-quality exterior, interior and mechanical restoration, and more recently, in 2022, the engine was completely refurbished.

Condition:
General: In 2023, the car was appraised and the report praises its quality of presentation.


Exterior: Originally black, the car was repainted in 2011 in a cream colour. The paintwork was carried out to the highest standards, with complete dismantling. It now looks very good. The soft top is perfectly taut and shows no tears or holes. Note that it was replaced in 2010. All the chrome, seals and headlights are in excellent condition. The car will be sold with its hardtop, in its original paint.

Interior: The interior was restored between 2011 and 2014. All the leather upholstery and trimmings are in excellent condition, as are the carpets. The dashboard is in very good condition and all the gauges and other instruments are functional. The car is fitted with a mosquito net.

Mechanicals: Service invoices show that the car has always been serviced by Mercedes or specialists. The mechanical package has benefited from numerous upgrades in recent years, including an engine rebuild in 2022. It starts easily and runs without any abnormal noise or smoke. The car is now fitted with twin WEBER carburettors. On the road, the chassis handles well and the engine and gearbox are very reliable.

Underbody : The car's underpinnings are sound and free from corrosion. Photos are available on request.
