This is water steam and not smoke. Just normal condensation of a cold start. The SL got regularly inspected and also received a new road inspection in Germany, where it checked out without any flaws. It therefore is in very good condition.

Normal and non-invasive. Just turning water to steam.

Thank you July 29th, 2024 at 2:55pm EST$10,000 bid placed by @ProdigalPetrolHeadJuly 29th, 2024 at 2:55pm ESTProdigalPetrolHead (0) 0@edand I'm staring at it thinking the same. Might be ABC but it's definitely period-correct. I keep thinking that a low mileage 280SL is cool enough but this would just be a riot.

We've adjusted the listing and are researching where this kit would have originated. We value a community focused on helping buyers and sellers. Thanks to our community as always. July 24th, 2024 at 5:14pm ESTRetrophit (2) 0@Abel thanks for commenting. People are lazy and like to label any body kit from the 80s with strakes as a Koenig. 30 seconds of research would tell you this is not one. July 24th, 2024 at 5:07pm ESTAbel (6) 0@Retrophit indeed… not Koenig at all.July 24th, 2024 at 5:06pm ESTAbel (6) 0OMG! Not Koenig at all! Nothing correct on this one! My guess is a mix of different things but certainly not Koenig!! I have a real 1/50 certified Koenig r107, i know these since the 80’s. You should change your add as it’s embarrassing. To be honestJuly 24th, 2024 at 11:33am ESTGrossaspach (1) Seller 0@Amine78 Thank you for your question. Due to German road safety regulations, the spoilers have to be detachable to prevent more serious injuries in case of accidents with pedestrians. While I cannot state the exact reason why they were detached at the time of the picture, they generally can be detached if desired. As stated in the description, the fitting has been done by Leinwather & Blazek who ordered the entire kit from Koenig. Best, GrossaspachJuly 24th, 2024 at 10:50am ESTAmine78 (1) 0Hello quick question why on the first black and white photos there are no spoilers and on the other it is installed? t The spoilers were bought and fitted by Koenig? Thank you July 22nd, 2024 at 11:55pm ESTGrossaspach (1) Seller 0@Retrophit No, the period pictures are to 100% certainty from the 1980s. I'm referring to picture 130 in the gallery. Also check the BMW E12 parking on the left side on that picture. Pic 131 is just another batch of other images taken from the collector who used to photograph his car a lot - no one can blame him for that ;) Here you can also notice that the number plate has been changed in the meantime to a season registration (notice the numbers on the right side of the plate, indicating the months). Also, the location is different... I'll follow your suggestion and reach out to Koenig for more clarity. I want that everyone bids with confidence on this rare example of a R107. Best, GrossaspachJuly 22nd, 2024 at 4:58pm ESTRetrophit (2) 0None of the documents mention the word “Koenig” that I saw. Period pictures of the car are at least from the
