1969 Mercedes-Benz 280SL

• white paint looks glossy and straight from every angle, no repaint needed
• chrome bumpers, grille and hubcaps look bright, no rechrome bill
• white pagoda hardtop is fitted in one shot and looks clean and straight, no hardtop repair showing
• black soft top looks taut with a clear rear window in the top-up shot, no top replacement needed
• bright red leather seats look almost new with no tears or heavy creasing, no need to reupholster
• red door panels and carpets look clean and complete, no trim work needed
• dash and gauges look clean behind the black wheel, no dash repair showing
• trunk looks clean and dry with a covered spare, no trunk repair bill
• engine bay looks very clean and detailed from three angles, no detailing bill
• the book set pictured mixes a 250 SL manual in with the 280 SL books, so check the paperwork matches this car before valuing the documents
• underside is not shown in the sampled photos, I can't judge it, so budget for an inspection

Money: no sold price is recorded for this one, and the white paint, red leather, both tops and clean engine bay all support strong 280SL money, with the unseen underside and mixed manuals the checks to make.
