Go to proxibid.com and search for it.
It is not my car, nor do I know the owner or anything about the car other than what is in the ad.

Except whem you read this.... " Today this lovely 230SL presents in largely original and unrestored condition, retaining much of its original interior and brightwork, and probably treated to just one light respray years ago. "

KevinC:
I always wondered ... does a "light-respray" mean they just hold the paint-gun farther back? Or possibly "we didn't take the time and expense to remove the chrome and bring to the body to bare metal, we just masked everything off and painted over what was there"? 

Benz Dr.:
I think it means that it doesn't have 20 coats of paint on it but that doesn't mean that its one paint job was done right. Kind like a hundred other nebulous deceptions for old cars that really don't mean anything.

So they can take 24 pictures of the interior of the car but only 3 of the engine bay (at a distance, must be "lightly photographed") and none of the underside.
