One of the most unique Mercedes we’ve ever had the pleasure of dealing with. Odometer reads 45,457 miles, but true mileage is unknown due to the gauge cluster being replaced upon importation.
Purchased in Germany in 1988 and imported to the United Sates, in the same family since. Purchased by the father, inherited by the son in 2006.
Generally well cared for with some minor mechanical needs. Handles more like a Porsche than a Mercedes… the best handling SLC we’ve ever driven. The Lorinser sport suspension makes an incredible different.
