1970 Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-Benz

• photos show a 280SE cabriolet in light blue metallic, despite the generic title, and the paint looks deep and glossy, no repaint money needed
• chrome grille, bumpers and hubcaps look mirror-bright, no re-chroming bill here
• dark blue soft top shown raised looks taut and clean with a clear rear window, no new top needed
• navy leather seats front and rear look like new with no creasing or tears, no retrim money needed
• dash burl wood is glossy and unmarked and the gauges look crisp, no wood or instrument work needed
• the odometer reads 00576, which fits a restored car rather than original miles, so pay for condition, not a low-mile story
• there is a small split in the seam on top of the centre console, a minor trim repair, not a big bill
• whitewall tyres and painted hubcaps finish it well, no cosmetic spend left on the outside
• no engine bay photos in the sample, so I can't judge engine condition or detailing costs
• no underside or trunk photos in the sample, so I can't judge floors or rust repair money

Money: with no price listed, the visible restoration looks complete, so the money question is mechanical and underside proof, not cosmetics.
