1969 Mercedes-Benz 280SE

• this is a cabriolet, not a sedan, in light beige-grey paint that looks glossy and even all round, no repaint needed on what is shown
• chrome grille, bumpers and hubcaps look bright and straight, no re-chroming bill in sight
• red leather seats show light creasing on the front cushions but no tears, usable as-is without a retrim
• dash wood and red trim look rich and intact, with the period Becker radio in place, no dash restoration needed
• the red top boot fits neatly and the brown soft top shown raised looks clean and taut, no new top needed on looks
• rear seats and armrest look barely worn, no money needed back there
• trunk looks clean with a proper spare in place, no rust showing in the trunk corners on these shots
• paperwork and tool rolls are photographed with the car, which supports value rather than costing anything
• no engine bay photos in the sample, so I can't judge the engine or its detailing costs
• no underside photos in the sample, so I can't judge the floors or frame for rust repair money

Money: with no price listed, the visible paint, chrome and red leather need no big spend, so money should go on verifying the unseen engine and underside, not on cosmetics.
