Gorgeous Manganese Brown Metallic paint shows deep luster and shine. Still wearing its original factory slim bumpers and European market Bosch headlamps. Nice brightwork. All original MB glass.
Highly preserved original interior with beige leather and light carpet with matching door cards. Original dashpad shows a few minor cracks. Zebrano wood is beautiful showing light wear. Bright red crisp seatbelt fasteners. Overall the interior shows negligible UV exposure. The dark brown soft top shows a few tears.
Well maintained motor operates properly. The 110 European motor was given more HP than the stateside 6 cylinder North American delivered cars. When paired with a 5 speed manual it’s set up right for the discerning driving enthusiast. Having been imported into Los Angeles in 1985 the vehicle went through USA federalization process (documentation included) and appears to have also passed through USEPA standards with smog equipment and USA emissions stickers appointed inside the driver door jamb.
