Driven 50 miles to the auction, it has an MOT
until March 2027 with just two minor advisories (o/s/f and n/s/f tyres slightly
damaged/cracking). It has been starting instantly and running well as we have
moved it around on site with no warning lights and the soft top operating as it
should. A Tracker theft-recovery system is fitted and it has two
keys.
As you can see
in the photos, this Mercedes is in remarkable condition for its year/mileage
with not a blemish or stone chip that we could readily spot, the only obvious
defect being the Mercedes badge missing from the top of the gear
stick.
