(note: pictures hosted by SL Market letter from when they were selling agent. They have kindly agreed to keep them up).

I've owned this vehicle since 1990. It has always been properly maintained and cared for. One exterior repaint in correct color in the early 1990s due to a sideswipe courtesy of a drunk driver. No evidence of this is seen unless you search for it. Transmission was rebuilt in 2015 by Sun Valley. There are less than 10K miles on new struts, spheres, and hydraulic pump. Suspension does not drop over long term storage. The blue leather interior is in wonderful condition and is all original except for the shift knob. No dash cracks. It all looks and smells new.

Note that there are no catalytic converters (stock and aftermarket are available from others if your state registration requires them). It passed Delaware emissions at last inspection.

There is an extensive collection of original sales literature and service manuals including parts microfiche (USA and Euro versions), plus reader.

Full set of factory tools and shipping blocks are included.

I've advertised this car over the years but am not a very motivated seller. It does get exercised regularly and still has a big grin factor but I'd like to downsize the fleet.

$17500. located in Northern Delaware.

Thanks!

Say it ain't so.

Nice looking car, esp with those Penta wheels.

Watched several 6.9s bring high prices over on bringatrailer (not to denigrate our host's site), might be worth a look.

I would put the stock wheels back on it and paint the bumpers silver. Needs to look more like it came out of the dealership in my view.

The E55 trade didn't go through?
