Vehicle History:

Update October 2013
The current owner has posted up a very detailed website for the car. You can see it here:

.
Shots of this 450SEL were listed on this forum:
http://www.m-100.cc/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=2071 in 2007.
Along with a theory that it was on ebay in the USA before being restored in Berlin??
I also found shots of it on this site:
http://www.auto-fascynacje.pl/oldies/1976-mercedes-450-sel-crayford-estate/ in 2009. But, the rear window seals are differant?? The text in Polish states that it is a prototype, which I think is incorrect as there are much earlier cars.
In March 2011, whilst in Germany on business, I met with the owner who showed me the car. It was stored in an underground carpark and had not been used for the winter.
It is a very nicely preserved example with a few modifications. There is an extra drip rail about the rear side glass, a unique interpritation of the rear bumpers and some minor changes to the trim in the load area.
In November 2011 it was listed for sale for 39900 euro on www.autoscout24.de/
