We're entering the final 8 hours of the auction..been a fun one so far! We had the crew here at MB Market upload some more photos that were requested, as well as a compression test & cold start video. We will be around all day for anyone that has questions! March 13th, 2023 at 8:25am ESTEuropeanStarr (54) Seller 0@grb1 Hello, we honestly don't know when the car was imported.. we would expect sometime in the mid to late 80's. We have a receipt from the now defunct local MB dealer from 1990 so thats where we base that guesstimate. The cluster was replaced whenever they federalized the car, and no paint readings were taken as the current owner planned on keeping it at the time of the correction & ceramic coat.

Always loved a straight 6 R107.

I would like to see more photos of both door jambs. Any indication of body work on driver's side rear quarterMarch 6th, 2023 at 12:55pm ESTRivolta (7) 1I know the owner and this shop. Both very honest and reliable. I own several 107 chassis. This car is investment quality. No noises or leaks of any kind. Shop suspects the mileage is actually kilometers but couldn't prove it. Might be around 20k miles? Sure drives like it.March 3rd, 2023 at 3:01pm ESTsjgnyc (4) 2I'd take a 6 cylinder over a V8 on these any day.March 3rd, 2023 at 1:21pm ESTEuropeanStarr (54) Seller 0@Carsonjr Yes you may, but we will be out of town briefly this weekend, so we will get in contact /text you on Monday morning. Thank you! March 3rd, 2023 at 1:20pm ESTEuropeanStarr (54) Seller 0@SamSl We did a drier, compressor, and pressure switch as well as converted it to R134a. We requested the MB Market to put the records we supplied into the gallery. And yes, it blows nice and cold! A must for a Florida car. March 3rd, 2023 at 12:56pm ESTCarsonjr (0) 0May I come see the car? I live in New Port Richey, Fl. Can you message me the address? Text? 727-858-3153March 3rd, 2023 at 12:37pm ESTSamSl (2) 0@seller, it says refurbishments include AC. What exactly was done to the AC system? What type of refrigerant is being used, when was it done and does it still blow cold?

He forgot about it as he never put it on the car since he purchased it. We will get some photos of it when he gets back into town on Monday. Thanks! March 2nd, 2023 at 1:24pm EST$12,000 bid placed by @TheGermanMarch 2nd, 2023 at 1:21pm ESTEuropeanStarr (54) Seller 0@DradisContact Thank you for the kind words. Unfortunately, the car does not come with a hard top.. As for any paint work being done, we don't know. If there was any done in the life of "Little Red", it wasn't done by us or the current owner. The paint correction we did included a machine buff with various compounds (We use Rupes buffing and polishing compounds as well as their buffers), polished, then ceramic coated. It has 4 or more years left on it as it sits indoors and doesn't really ever see the direct sun.

A lot of pictures of the underside, well done! Any of the hard top?
