Copy of Factory Shipping Note
Originally finished in Cement Gray (186), this example is said to have been repainted in red earlier in its life before receiving a repaint in its factory shade during a refurbishment performed in the early 2000s. The car is accompanied by a contrasting dark gray removable hardtop with 300SL pillar badges and is equipped with a black soft top that was installed during the 2011 refurbishment work. European-specification headlights were also installed in 2011, and additional features include bumper guards at front and rear, a driver-side mirror, pivot-out door handles, and fender louvers framed by grooved accent lines that extend onto the quarter panel doglegs.
