The car was sold to its original southern California owner on 6/6/1988 at 'South Bay AutoHaus' of Torrance, California and has its original owners manual, dealer stamped service booklet, original data plate and service history showing that at no time was any expense spared in this vehicles preventive maintenance - literally thousands and thousands of dollars spent over the years as required with the car being serviced primarily at Mercedes dealerships or specialists since new including originally at the 'South Bay AutoHaus' Mercedes-Benz dealership and in recent years at 'Fletcher Jones Mercedes-Benz' of Newport Beach, California.
