bright with one very minor stain [see photo]. All trim and rubber on hardtop is mint, as is the interior
rear wood window trim.

Taillight plastic is perfect and the chrome surrounds are shiny and excellent originals.

Faults: Minor scratches on both sides door
glass, minor vinyl repair on lower outside of driver's seat
near the base [very difficult to see or photograph], small
cracks [1/2"] on grill side of plastic headlight surround. Scratches on lower windshield trim on passenger side[see photos].
This SL is, by inspection and by
driving, a very well cared-for original that has been
thoughtfully brought up to near-show cosmetic condition. It is not a show car, but a superb driver at half
the cost of a restored “ trailer queen.” Car is being sold
as-is, no warranties and is worthy of consideration for
anyone who wants a terrific looking, excellent running
driver.
I welcome your inspection by buyer
or their agent. I am in East- Central Pa. - one
hour North of Phila. and 1 1/2 hours drive West of Manhattan. Thanks
for looking.
