I am the third owner of this car.   The car has less than 3. 00 miles on it since complete restoration and engine rebuild.

A Virginia military man purchased the car new in Germany. for export to the USA.    The second owner was Dr. JP Wishau of Milwaukee. WI who purchased the car in the mid 80s. restored it in the late 80s at a cost of approximately $60. 00. and continued to own it until 2010.   Dr. Wishau chose this car for restoration because it was completely straight and virtually rust free. and features a retractable cloth Webasto top. Gerhard Banfi was the coordinator of the complete restorationand did the majority of the work.

The car was purchased in November. 2010 by Sergio and Lois Asensio of Lynchburg. Virginia.   The car is currently maintained by Danny Bridgeworth of Lynchburg. Virginia. who works exclusively on classic cars as a sideline when he's not at his day job as a nuclear engineer with Areva.   Annual state inspections were performed by Crossroads Mercedes of Lynchburg. Virginia.   The only modifications made to the car since it's original restoration were the addition of retractable seatbelts for the front seats and standard seat belts for the back seats.  

Car includes original tool set. original jack. original owners manual. shop manuals. and receipts from restoration work performed.
