It’s time for #DutchDoubleclutch to declutch, shifting gears away from testing two of our clients’ cars as they pass through the final stage of restoration. As my third cousin Monty Python used to say, “Now for something completely different,” as I put some maintenance miles on a highly original survivor. This one ticks many of the boxes for a knowledgeable senior collector, enthusiast, investor (or dealer, flipper, buyer, exporter . . . as Brian’s left plenty of meat ‘n potatoes on the table).  Boxes ticked:  documented* low miles (41k), Late 280 (1971), great colors, highly optioned (leather, Europa stereo, Hirschmann electric aerial, Frigiking A/C, auto trans), preservation car (when’s the last time you experienced the aroma of genuine, vintage Roser leather?). This car takes $120k. Yes, this is not old busted, rusted driver money - cause it’s not - the preceding translates to ‘World-class Pagoda' * This is what genuine 48-year-old, cool-climate, sub-100k mile, MB #Leder looks like. Secure the image in your memory banks. Also, in front of the gate to the ancestral estate, #VillaZeeZaw * *Unfortunately, 90% of 5-digit odometer cars lack gap-free service history AND a high degree of originality - third-owner sellers are generally mistaken on claims of sub-100k miles * #w11304412020749 #mercedes #mercedesbenz #mercedes_benz #mercedesclassic #w113pagoda #mercedesbenzclassic #mercedesw113 #mercedespagoda #w113 #mercedes280sl #280slpagoda #slclass #classiccar #mbfanfoto #vintagecar #vintagecars #oldcar #oldtimer #motoringinvestments #collectorcar #carforsale #preservationclass #w113buyersguide #w113originalityguide #roserleder #vintageleather #280SL (at Motoring Investments) https://www.instagram.com/p/By-09EFFZGE/?igshid=1pgtovshe1am5
