probably crispy plastic from baking in the Texas sun and someone tried to shut it on the not original first air kit (that is a puffed up kit I think came from a later car.
The antenna is aftermarket also, I suppose the Euro model came without a radio?
Nice looking car all around but I would like to see under the hood, the seller seems to have neglected that very important area. DDH

He e-mailed me an underhood pic but I couldn't open it and he hasn't written back. Found out it has 270K miles.
Yeah, seems like a decent car if everything is operable. No a/c I know. Looks like manual rear windows and there are black buttons or escutcheons or something on the front doors where cranks would be. Possibly add-on electric windows? It has a sunroof also. Wonder if it's manual. And, if it's a true Euro wouldn't it be N/A? A little strange all around but I do like the non auto CC.

A true euro MB will have the M pump ,check for leaks because the pump to the lines have the rubber seals UNLIKE the MW PUMP shipped to the US.Youll need the 32 spline socket,$85, and correct factory seals to fix if leaking ,all about $150 to do yourself or $400 for a shop.

With that import sticker on the door post and the cloth seats, it is most likely a Euro model. those stickers can`t be peeled off w/o tearing them to pieces, and transfering to another car.
