1971 Mercedes-Benz 280SL

• Silver paint is smooth and glossy on every panel shown, no paintwork needed up top
• Chrome bumpers, grille and full hubcaps are bright and straight, no rechroming money here
• Black seats and door cards look fresh and unmarked, no reupholstery bill in the cabin
• Dash and gauges look clean from the cabin shots, no dash money visible
• The car is only shown top-down in the sample, can't judge the soft top or hardtop condition from these photos
• Engine bay is not shown in the sampled photos, can't judge it, so no engine-bay verdict here
• Underside lift photo tells a different story: floor pans show brown surface rust and peeling coating, so budget real money for underside rust work
• Rear wheel arch in one close shot shows grime and surface corrosion inside the lip, more cleanup money at the corners
• Original European-delivery invoice, data card, a thick stack of service records and the tool roll are all photographed, paperwork that adds value for free

Money: No sale price is listed — the glossy top side and huge paperwork file support a strong result, but the rusty floor pans mean the buyer still faces an underside bill the exterior never hints at.
