I’ll try to answer your questions as best I can. To the best of my knowledge all major components are original to the car. None have been replaced, including the soft top or any top seals, during my mother-in-laws ownership since 2004. The car was purchased from a specialty dealer and no service history was provided at that time. I researched the tires (Michelin MXV4 Energy Plus} and as far as I can determine they are V rated (max 149 mph). The paint appears original with no signs of repair that can be detected (eg. color mismatch, overspray, wrenched painted bolts, odd panel gaps,, etc.) The soft top is, as it appears, in excellent condition and the seals are intact and are original to current ownership. The AC was converted to R134a before it was purchased in 2004. A label on the cowl under the hood includes that info. Bross Automotive went over the car thoroughly June 2024 and everything he identified was addressed including AC recharge for the first time since purchase in 2004. It was working and cold, but he identified below spec pressure so charged it to spec. All vents work. I have done my best to photo and point out identified scratches and dents in the photos with black arrows. The seat leather is as it appears in the photos. The leather looks and feels new. The description was the MB Market writers not mine. Hope that helps. June 15th, 2025 at 2:46pm ESTthembmarket (691) 0A cold start video has been added to the listing.

That maybe enough for the US but not for Germany. We need a class "VR". so I must change the new tires again - unfortunately! - first paint? What did you hear about it from th
