[@jordangibson695]

My brother owns one. He says the lack of power steering and power brakes makes it feel like you are driving a tractor.

[@adeyemioduye3485]

Hello… can we get mike’s contact ?

[@volkerleiste6191]

I recommend to contact Mercedes Classic Center. They make restaurations 100% original down to the last washer This work is semi to non-professional... wrong carburators and check the body sills - here you will find a body filler job. Sorry! That's why you should go to the Mercedes Classic Center.

[@volkerleiste6191]

The carburators are not the originals...as well the body sills are not correct. They show the typical "restauration" done by non-mercedes-professionals. They need to show 2 body beadings - which are not visible here. That's typical for non professional body work wirh body filler. Sorry!
