Compression test recommended at an additional cost.

Approximate cost around $400.00 which is worth every penny.

I've just had this done on a 1971 280SL that I'm purchasing !!!
but i guess you would not spend $400 for inspection unless you really did like the car and by visual inspection looks fine, right?
