     __ Please note I've taken extreme close-up photos of many areas to show the beautiful condition of the chrome. rubber. and interior.

     __ The car had a recent comprehensive check at the Mercedes Dealership on all mechanical systems- lights. wipers. engine. [compression test great at 140-150 on all 6 cylinders]. rubber mounts. transmission [road test by dealership indicates engine and trans perform as they should]. suspension. steering. exhaust. brakes. belts. and hoses. Chassis lube oil and filter were also done. My work order was to make sure the car was dependable and roadworthy for long trips.

This SL is. by inspection and by driving. a very well cared-for original that has been thoughtfully brought up to near-show cosmetic condition. It is not a show car. but a superb driver at half the cost of a restored “ trailer queen. ” Car is being sold as-is. no warranties and is worthy of consideration for anyone who wants a terrific looking. dependable excellent running driver.

I welcome your inspection by buyer or their agent. I am in East- Central Pa. - one hour North of Phila. and 1 1/2 hours drive West of Manhattan. Thanks for looking.     – Mike (610) 393-6227
