This car was shipped in the summer of 69 to its first owner in Lebanon, so it is a “European version”. At the time, Lebanon was a centre of wealth, style and freedom of speech. This rare car was ordered appropriately in Sandy beige métallic with a black hardtop and black MBtex interior. The pièce de résistance is of course the very rare and exclusive ZF five speed gearbox, an option that costed a staggering 500$ at the time.

The paintwork has some usage-marks and the front bumper has a dent in it. furthermore no rust to bes een and every part is fully functional as it should be. This gem can be used as-is without any problem or extra costs and is ready for lots of carefree miles.
