to Europe the following year, where it attended many local shows
and participated in the Bath to Bournemouth Classic Car Run. It was
reportedly stored upon its return to the U.S. in 2011, and
recommissioning in August 2018 included rebuilding the carburetor
and installing a new battery, brake shoes, and fresh fluids. This
example is said to be one of approximately 300 equipped with a
curved windshield, and additional features include rear-hinged
doors, integrated headlights, chrome body trim, and a brown
convertible top.The interior features light brown leather
upholstery, matching carpets, and pleated door panels. Rubber floor
mats line the front footwells and transmission tunnel, and the rear
seat can be folded and stored for additional cargo space.The
2.2-liter inline-six is paired with a four-speed manual gearbox and
produced 85 horsepower when new. The vehicle was serviced in August
2018 after approximately seven years in storage, and work included
rebuilding the carburetor, adding fresh fluids, and installing a
new battery. Records include a 1971 bill of sale, as well as
receipts from the restoration, which began in 1972 and was
completed in 1977 at a total cost of $41,237.34. A binder of
documentation and photographs from the work is included in the
sale. Certainly, a stunning example that is not to be missed. This
Mercedes is mechanically sound. For $112,500
