This car was delivered brand new to Mercedes of San Diego on August, 18th 1976 to its first owner Dr. Miriam Roache. She owned the car into the early 1990s when the car showed only 83,000 miles. At that point the car went into storage where the second owner picked it up and drove it occasionally for the next 20 years putting only about 20,000 miles on the car. The car just came out of storage and was gone through including an all new brake system, new carbs, new tires, new interior, and the A/C system gone through.
