1980 Mercedes coupe for restoration(low mileage) For Sale

I have decided to sell my part restored coupe. it has been in my ownership since 1987, and i am the 3rd owner and it has covered only 57, 000 miles(genuine and garanteed). I have all the original service books and handbooks plus masses of reciepts for new parts fitted over the years plus all the old MoT, s. i am a retired engineer so have looked after the car myself. Unfortunatly a few years ago i took the car off the road to replace all the manifold gaskets and studs/ nuts/ bolts. Plus fit a lpg unit(cost £800) because of other interests and personal problems i have not yet finished the job. I have removed the seats/ carpets and rear trim to replace both(original ) sills and tidy up rusty sections. also i have removed both a/ c and water / oil cooler rads. Also i have removed the front and rear bumper assemblies/ fan units / headlights/ indicators/ rear lights to paint/ rust treat. i have made up 2 new outer sills plus reinforcement for the inner sills and new jacking points. Not long before i stopped useing the car i replaced all 4 road springs, dampers including the engine mounts, front subframe mounts. Although it is some time since the car was last used i have regularly turned the engine over manually. and kept the brakes free,(and all working including the handbrake) all the glass and chrome are in as new condition. i will send an extensive photograph file to any serious mercedes enthusiast restorer/ buyer. My car also has a non date set number plate(northern irish)sensible offers will be considered Since placing the add i have done further work and intend re-fitting the exhaust(including a new balance pipe(£325))and re-furbishing the fuel pump assembly + getting the engine running again( with new oil and filter. I have also purchased a new rear window seal(£109)This SLC can be made like new with a reasonable amount of metalwork and a total re-spray. Since my last entry I have now started fitting the offside sill repair panels including new panels purchased from the SL shop plus 2 as new original mercedes wings off a 1989 SL and a spare alloy bonnet plus a new nearside mercedes sill and its associated parts( drain channels).. And please no more inquiries about parts or breaking. Since my last entry, i have continued to work on the car while we are under covid suppression. I have already had offers in excess of the £6250 and am continuing the restoration until we are free of this pandemic so that i can realise the cars full potential valuewise. I am making a list of potential buyers and if anyone is interested still get in touch. If I wanted to break the car I would do it myself. and please no more stupid offers or timewasters
