What the photos show
- light blue metallic paint is glossy and even all round, no repaint needed
- chrome grille, bumpers, arch trim and matching hubcaps shine bright, no chrome bill
- navy soft top sits taut and clean when raised, no new top to buy
- navy leather seats front and rear look fresh and unmarked, no need to reupholster
- wood dash trim and navy carpets look clean and tidy, no interior spend needed
- speedometer face is clear and bright in close-up, no gauge work showing
- trunk is clean and dry with its mat in place, no tidying money needed
- engine bay is not shown in the sampled photos, so can't judge its condition or sorting cost
- underside is black, dry and solid with a polished exhaust, no rust repair in sight
- the books photo at the end shows 280 SL manuals and a red SL picture, which do not match this car, so treat the paperwork as unverified until checked
Money: no sale price is recorded here, but the glossy blue paint, fresh navy interior and solid underside support strong 3.5 cabriolet money, with the engine bay unseen and the books photo mismatched.
