It offers a Four Speed Manual gearbox that supplies solid shifts. Rich materials, hard woods and beige pile carpeting. Standard features include new front disc breaks with rear drum, leather interior, hard top with garage hoist, soft top, mahogany veneer trim and manual windows. Other standard and optional features included power steering and Mercedes wheel covers that match the exterior finish with exceptional beauty. The car originally came from Sweden so it has the original European styled headlamps and the odometer is calibrated in kilometres. The stainless steel exhaust system makes an attractive burbling sound. I often turn off the radio just to hear the cars’s exquisite rumble. This is not a concourse vehicle, but more aptly described as in good condition. Minor imperfections exist in the paintwork, and interior. The engine has never been touched. The Bosch fuel injection system works perfectly. There is zero body rust and the car is only driven a few hundred kilometres a year during the summer months. As the odometer turns over at 100km, it is impossible to determine the accumulated mileage of the vehicle. Upgrades done about ten years ago cost around $23,000. Bumpers have been re-chromed. New windshield, radiator and tires, The non-original elements of the car are minor and were considered improvements (carpet, exhaust system). Flaws include the Pagoda hard top head liner has not been replaced. The radio needs repair and the gas gauge only reads half-full when actually full. The car is located near the town of Orangeville, Ontario, Canada. We are 45 minutes north of the Toronto International Airport by car.
