Some things I noticed...

Front headrests have dark brown piping at the edges.. never seen this -- have they been recovered?

LCD temp gauge in cluster looks dead

Carpet insert in centre console (under armrest) looks completely sun bleached. No pictures of console wood near window switches -- I'd assume the clearcoat is cracked all over

Both front seat bottoms look REALLY lumpy. I'm sure they're better to look at than to sit on!

Fuel reserve light -- almost no fuel in tank but reserve light isn't on (although it may be that there is still enough fuel before the light comes on..)

Is the steering wheel recovered? My '83 didn't look this way.. looks like something from Pep Boys

Either the door panels are from another car, or at least the pictures were taken of a different vehicle. Total color difference in all of the panels vs. the rest of the interior.


I hope nobody buys this thing.. it will only convince some unsuspecting buyer that old MB's are junk when they're really not (this one certainly is!)
