Please call with any questions (202-669-4618)On Aug-23-10 at 18:08:37 PDT, seller added the following information: Aug 23rd added: Based on a couple of requests, additional pictures will be added to listing hopefully within the next two days (by Aug 25th)....pictures will show car engine, trunk, interior, etc, which will reaffirm the excellent condition of the automobile. Reserve is low for this quality car which has been pampered by it's two owners ( ie,the orig soft top rear window is still clear with no scratches/fading, the hard top has always been stored and pristine, carpets like new, etc). Even includes the original Mercedes first aid kit. I'm selling as I have several other cars, and hardly use most of them. The buyer will not be disappointed if looking for a lightly used 450SL (a true classic) in excellent overall condition.On Aug-25-10 at 10:32:56 PDT, seller added the following information: Aug 25 at 1:30pm......added additional pictures to show details of car. Should give buyer an idea of the quality of the automobile. Everything is in working order, including the clock. Forgot to mention in trunk there is a battery on/off switch installed to allow for storage when not in use (so you don't have to disconnect the battery cables). Also include are custom 450 SL Floor matts I had made (dark brown...see pictures) Lastly, I mentioned before the lower reserve than the value(within a couple of thousand from current bidding) gives the buyer an excellent value. If the reserve isn't met, I'll try to sell locally (haven't advertised yet in the Greater Washington DC Area where I live) or retain it for continued personal use (however sporadic). Good luck on the final bidding....I don't believe the winning bidder will be disappointed.
