Comments of this past auction
Mit umfangreicher Ausstattung ist wohl das Schiebedach gemeint, denn sonst kann ich hier kein weiteres werkseitiges Extra erkennen. Oder irre ich mich?
Guten Tag Muckinger, wir haben den Vermerk "umfangreich" entfernt. Weitere, herausstechende Ausstattungen neben den genannten hat dieser W126 300 SE nicht., was dem Gesamtbild des Fahrzeugs jedoch überhaupt keinen Abbruch tut, wie wir finden. Viele Grüße, Ihr Kickdown-Team
