cars were produced in low numbers and sold at a crushingly

sedan.�This example was purchased by our client from the estate ofa
local Mercedes collector. It has been in Georgia since the late 80s
anddriven sparingly over the last 20 years. Fewer than 77000
original miles. Thelate owner commissioned a high-quality repaint
in original DB172 Anthraciteinstalled upgraded Euro headlights a
Becker 754 and 15-inch 126 style wheelswith Michelin Pilots.The
current owner has invested considerable time and moneyin recent
recommissioning which has included oil service hydraulic
suspensionservice with new accumulators and connecting rods rear
brake calipers linespads and brake flush fuel filter and system
service battery hood padmuffler hangers shifter bushings and brake
vacuum line.�Paint and body are very nice; trim bumpers and rubbers
showwell -- there is a minor kink above the left rear wheel arch.
Original interiorshows well with leather showing minor patina but
holding up nice originalcarpets headliner and wood. A dash cap has
been installed in the past.Notably the original Hirschmann antenna
