The headlights could do with a polish to remove any discolouration that has occurred over the years.
Overall, the exterior bodywork of this Mercedes is in lovely condition.
The lightweight alloy wheels really complement the bodywork design with no very minor signs of degrading or curb marks on some of the wheels.
