I have the camera recording inside on a suction cup with its own audio (hence you hear when I burned myself on the seat belt and windows actuating) then another external audio recorder in the trunk with microphone wired and taped to the outside of the car. It makes the presentation more professional and you’re able to hear what the car actually sounds like. Feel free to see the Renntech we have live at the moment on here so you can hear that V12 scream! December 14th, 2022 at 7:00pm ESTraffi (1) 0You meant the camera and the microphone are in separate space ? December 14th, 2022 at 12:10pm ESTfuelfiles (49) Seller 2In the driving video, I had the exhaust being recorded with a microphone tucked under the bumper, above the exhaust tips. It helped capture the sound of the engine, but it may have been too close. This exhaust sounds great under load, while cruising this car likes to putter along comfortably however the proximity of the microphone captured more putter than growl in this case. The car pulls healthy with no strange idle or difficulty getting up to speed. As seen in the documents and invoices provided, it has had recent services to ensure it is ready to be driven and enjoyed. This is a car that can be taken out to dinner or coffee and can be a great starter for someone looking to get into a classic Benz. December 14th, 2022 at 12:05pm ESTraffi (1) 0Hello . I have a question , In the driving video I was wondering about the sounds, It could be a muffler leak or a rod knocks . Or its the camera recording, Can you please let me know, Also could be arranged a shipping to Los Angeles if you know any shipping company in your area. It looks to be a nice kept vehicle. Regards RaffiDecember 12th, 2022 at 10:03pm ESTfuelfiles (49) Seller 0@DriveClassic Thanks!December 12th, 2022 at 1:52am ESTDriveClassic (2) 1Long wheelbase with the M117 and in a super unique color combination. Loving this one!December 11th, 2022 at 6:59pm ESTfuelfiles (49) Seller 0@Stevieboy I’m not a dealer. I represent vehicles at auction for private owners and individuals that want to sell their cars but don’t have the time to do it themselves, nor want to go via consignment route with a dealer. December 11th, 2022 at 3:50pm ESTmtbemail (22) 0What a beautiful color! I have a 72 280se 4.5 in beige grey and I keep coming back to admire this blue 280sel. I bet it looks even better in person. Glwa!December 10th, 2022 at 5:42pm ESTStevieboy (3) 0The description states that you are a private seller, yet your comments indicate you are a dealer. Please clarify.December 7th, 2022 at 12:16pm ESTJim_Rosenthal (96) 1I have a 109 car- they are some of the best postwar automobiles MB ever made. It's a little weird to see something you bought new now as a classic, but I can say with a clear conscience that I loved them when they were not classics, just used cars. I'm glad to see they have come into their own. December 7th, 2022 at 11:22am ESTfuelfiles (49) Seller 0@Jim_Rosenthal After seeing what dry ice can do, I would do it to any car I plan on taking to concourses. We also try to make the purchasing experience as easy as it can be showing people as close to every inch as possible to make it seem like they're inspecting the car themselves. December 7th, 2022 at 9:28am ESTJim_Rosenthal (96) 1Very complete photo set. I would immediately take this car to Dryce for cleaning the underside.December 6th, 2022 at 7:03pm EST$10,000 bid placed by @PeoriaBenzDecember 5th, 2022 at 9:38pm ESTthembmarket (691) 0Extensive underbody photos as well as a detailed interior/exterior video with driving footage has been added to the listing.
