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

    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.

    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!
