Condition

The car underwent a recommissioning worth €140,000 by Mercedes-Benz specialists, and a 2025 inspection report by Mercedes-Benz Heritage is included. The description mentions that the car is now finished in black over a black leather interior, suggesting a change from its original Light Blue Metallic over Light Grey interior, which implies some restoration work. However, the description also notes that the car retains its matching-numbers body, chassis, and engine.
