Description for Mercedes-Benz SL-Class 1977

I am selling this very clean, great condition,1997 MB 450SL with both soft and hard tops for my 88-year old stepmother who is the second owner. It's an original California car, always garaged (last 20+ years in the desert (Palm Springs), with little to no rust. It's hardly been used, always garaged by her and the previous owner was a family friend who also always babied the car and she always garaged it, too. Original factory owners manual and Vehicle Data Card. Most service records available since the late 1980's.
Beautiful cocoa brown metallic paint (recently repainted, but Ibelievethe original color), 88,000 carefully driven miles, palomino interior, always kept on trickle battery charger because its hardly driven.
She is no longer able to drive it, so it is time to let someone else enjoy it. This car has beenextremelywell cared for, always garage-kept and babied since purchased new.The car starts every time - no hiccups.
This car is nicely detailed and ready for a collector,enthusiastor just fun convertible lover.
