YOU ARE BIDDING ON A 1981 MERCEDES SLC 2 DOOR COUPE THAT BELONGS TO A FRIEND OF MINE. HE HAS A JOB THAT HE TRAVELS ALL THE TIME AND THE CAR HAS BEEN SITTING ,SO THEY HAVE DECIDED TO SELL IT AS THEY DON'T NEED IT ANYMORE. IT HAS BEEN SITTING ABOUT A YEAR SINCE LAST DRIVEN. I CHARGED THE BATTERY AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. 2 THINGS I SEE WRONG THAT NEED ATTENTION. (1) IS THE ACCELERATOR LINKAGE SEEMS TO BE STICKING. I'VE BEEN SPRAYING IT WITH CRC TO TRY AND FREE IT UP (2) THERE SEEMS TO BE A LEAK AT THE COOLING JUNCTION ON THE PASSENGER SIDE UNDER THE HOOD. IT'S A UNIT WITH 4 HEATER HOSES AND LOTS OF WIRES GOING TO IT. I'M NOT SURE WHAT IT REALLY IS AS I AM A BRITISH CAR GUY. THE GOOD THINGS ARE IT HAS A VERY SOLID BODY THAT ONLY HAS 1 SMALL DINK IN THE DOOR AND 1 BUBLE BY THE REAR 1/4 WHEEL WELL. THE FLOORS ARE VERY SOLID BUT THERE IS RUST AT THE SEEMS OF THE FLOOR TO WHERE THE BODY MEETS. ONLY 1 PLACE IS STARTING TO REALLY SHOW AND THAT IS IN A PHOTO,WHERE SOMEBODY PUT IT ON A LIFT IMPROPERLY AND SMOOCHED THE SEAM. THE TIRES HAVE LOW MILES ON THEM. THE ENGINE HAD THE TIMING CHAIN REPLACED AT 97,000 MILES I WAS TOLD BY THE OWNER. THE INTERIOR IS VERY GOOD WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A WEAR HOLE IN THE DRIVERS SEAT WHERE IT HAS RUBBED THRU FROM GETTING IN AND OUT. IT HAS A RELATIVLY NEW MUFFLER ON IT AS THE STICKER IS STILL ON IT AND NOT BURNED OFF. "PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING" I'M DESCRIBING THIS CAR AS BEST I CAN. A VERY NICE LOOKING CAR THAT HAS SAT. IT DOES START UP AND RUN BUT WILL NEED TO BE TOWED AS THE ACCELERATOR LINKAGE STICKS. NO TAGS AS THEY WERE TURNED IN WHEN PARKED. THE STATE OF DELAWARE REQUIRES YOU TO RETURN THE TAGS IF YOU STOP PAYING INSURANCE,WHICH HE DID AS HE STOPPED DRIVING THE CAR HE NOW HAS A COMPANY CAR AND THIS CAR IS JUST NOT NEEDED ANYMORE. THE CAR IS LOCATED AT MY SHOP BRITISH RACING GREEN 30 ALEPH DRIVE NEWARK INDUSTRIAL PARK NEWARK DE 19702-1319 MY WORK PHONE # IS 302-368-1117 9-4 M-F 9-12 SAT A $500.00 NON REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT IS REQUIRE WITHIN 1 WEEK OF END OF THE AUCTION AND FULL PAYMENT IS DUE WITHIN 2 WEEKS UNLESS OTHER ARRANGEMENTS ARE MADE WITH ME. IF YOU PLAN TO PAY BY CHECK OR MONEY ORDER OF ANY KIND,THEY WILL HAVE TO CLEAR BEFORE THE CAR IS TAKEN. PAYMENT IN CASH WOULD BE NICE.
