    I was contacted by one of my clients who recently had his 68 Mercedes Benz 250SL shipped to his home in Florida. The car is an original 65,000 mile car with the exception of the paint and regular maintenance items.

    The car was repainted 10 years ago and had sat in a NYC garage for a few years.Most of the car had heavy water spot etching including the chrome. The paint wasn't even close to being finished down.
