After seeing that interior can anyone suggest a good eye specialist?

car probably has a poor paint job (e.g. faded, no clear coat etc) so this vinyl wrap has been put on to hide it. This car has been for sale for at least 6 months, the price is very high for what it is.

I agree with the description! 😩

This week's car is the rare 500SLC. These have really jumped in value the last 3 years. At this price it will probably get exported to europe.

This particular car is pretty much exactly the spec I would want on one. the later 4 speed transmission, no problematic chrysler sourced climate control, great colour combo. It even has ABS. I like the penta wheels but don't like the AMG style wheel. Still, these are in demand so could easily be sold and replaced with one I like more.

Great looking 500SLC!

There was a black 500SLC in Sydney I believe it was Fotografa’s car not sure if he still has the car?

Can not say I have seen any other R107 500SLC here in Australia has to be a rare car for the Aussie market?

Wow okay 4 To 5 R107 in Oz.

Okay the Black 500SLC now in the West fair enough.

Great style the SL & SLC very popular at the moment just like Porsche’s ‘the car to have’, cool & trendy?!

Too far gone to restore unless you’re a masochist!
And hardly any usable parts in good condition!
Even though it’s red! 😩

I spotted this outside a panel beaters in the northern beaches. Not sure if it’s real but it is LHD and of the right era.
