The canvas soft top looks to be original and in excellent condition aesthetically and functionally. There are a couple of isolated corrosion areas on the inside corners of the hardtop. Overall this is one still quite handsome well-preserved 35 year-old classic Benz Roadster!THE INTERIOR As I hope is articulated in the photos, the interior of this non-smoker '84 Benz is in very good original condition overall with odometer and all other gauges and controls in excellent working order with brand new just installed carpet mats, virtually perfect crack-free dash, nice wood trim and door panels! Imperfections inside the car include some expected light wear and discoloration on the leather upholstery and wear on the other interior bits, Overall this is still one very nice unmolested German cockpit!THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE This 1984 SL starts easily with excellent running engine, smooth shifting transmission along with excellent braking and tight and solid rattle-free suspension.
