The car received the Mercedes-Benz Excellence in Class award at the 2018 Cavallino Classic. The car has been properly maintained, receiving regular service and exercise, and it remains imposing and simply beautiful, with its dark blue paint, straight body panels, and impeccable chrome all being in excellent condition. The blue top is just as fine and is complemented by the grey leather upholstery, which exhibits only the faintest signs of wear. The luggage remains in excellent condition and shows little-to-no wear.
