Yes, it IS a 1978 500 SLC
Located on the Costa del Sol in Spain, silver, left-hand drive with sliding hard-top sunroof. Engine is perfect (although speedometer stopped last summer at 165,000K) but needs TLC as some of the varnish is peeling off, a couple of the chrome trimmings along the side have disappeared, aircon & heating packed up so some parts there need replacing and passenger-side window doesn't move. Inside also needs some care. Over the last 14 years I've spent a LOT on engine repairs etc. but can no longer afford to replace/repair it. LOVE the car - still goes on ticking perfectly but would like to sell preferably to someone who would genuinely spent time and love on it to bring it back to its former glory - as it deserves it! Parts seem to be relatively easily found at reasonable prices on this or local national MB forums - something I wished I'd known before and saved on Mercedes prices! Up for any reasonable offer (they are genuinely rare as you all will know) - and making it very clear that it needs work on it (just got two new front tyres though!) cosmetically (and the aircon & window) but runs a treat. Anyone interested let me know and I'll send more detailed photos - not hiding anything!
Just figured out the photo upload - only have one on laptop right now - mañana ó pasado...
