A lot of examples are now looking tired, have had welding or asking very high asking prices. The car is stored in a dry garage and only driven in dry conditions.
The current owner has given the car a complete cosmetic overhaul, and as a result it is now a very fresh example that gets lots of attention. The interior is superb, with leather seating, new black carpets & parcel shelf, brand new rear seatbelts, an uncracked dash and headliner also in great condition. Everything works on the interior, original Blaupunkt radio with analogue pre-sets, dash lights, heater, lights, wipers, indicators and wind screen water jets all work thanks to electrical specialist ‘Unique Integrations’ who gave the car a complete run through.
The current owner has chosen to have the rear lights backdated to the W114 smooth/chrome version. W115 original ribbed rear lights will be included also. Comes with original paperwork including manual/service book.
