THE BODY AND TRIM
This exterior of this 1998 Mercedes is in VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT virtually 100% rust-free garaged condition overall. What looks to be all original paint has a deep lustrous overall shine with only a few minor nicks, scratches and other light cosmetic blemishes. There is also one small torn area on one of the plastic corner windows of the soft top which is in otherwise excellent condition aesthetically and functionally. The chrome wheels have some peeling and pitting and the tires are only in fair condition. Overall this is one stunning very well-preserved thirty-year-old Benz Roadster!
THE INTERIOR
As I hope is articulated in the photos, the interior of this non-smoker '87 Benz is in good to very good condition overall with odometer and all gages and controls in excellent working order! Imperfections inside the car include poor radio reception due to inop antenna, some missing led lights on the radio display, a/c not blowing cold.There is some expected light wear inside the car with deep stains on the light-colored carpet mats and one noticeable stain on the passenger side carpet. Overall this is still one very nice classic German cockpit!
THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE
This 1986 SL starts easily with excellent running and quite powerful engine, smooth shifting transmission along with excellent braking and tight yet supple suspension.There is a moderate brake pulsing related to weak rotors. Thirty years later this SL is still a vault-like stately sunny afternoon cruiser that gleans much attention from fellow motorists!test drivevideo here:https://youtu.be/Hk6eZiNkIhk
