Originally imported by first ownership from Germany into Georgia, USA in 1985 with the most recent ownership in San Antonio, Texas and Southern California.

It is hooked up through the front speakers and audio is correct with factory set up.

Delightful high revving 110 inline 6 cylinder motor that was not available in the USA. 4 speed automatic gearbox. It is highly desirable to pilot if you are not familiar and positively changes the handling and feel due to less weight load. It translates to an extremely nimble performing drive quality. Firm power steering without play. Very responsive throttle, solid driveline and straight full power at all speeds. The gearbox shifts crisp through all gears.

Fitted with correctly sized factory recco’d 195/70/14 tires. There are 4 color matched Mercedes steel disc wheels that give a vintage early 107SL look.
