Imported into USA when purchased new in 1985 from Germany.

Federalized into the USA upon new purchase. Brought to California by last ownership where it was upgraded with California emissions equipment and lab tested for smog compliance (retains CA BAR sticker inside door jamb). A major advantage for potential CA ownership as it can be registered in the most stringent state for emissions standards in the world.

Gorgeous paint with excellent depth and luster.

The black leather interior is in excellent condition. Beautiful original carpet throughout and and the door cards present well. Original dashpad in excellent shape. The wood trim, consul and control panel all show deep color and nice preservation. Hardtop headliner and trim is excellent. Original MB Rhenoglas shows great condition.

You will find the engine by to be extremely tidy and the trunk equal as such.
