Here's the scoop from Damian:
Sad to see it up for sale but became one of many projects I didn't get time for. I moved last year and the car has been sitting with only get driven about a few times each month mainly because I work out of home. The car looks and drives amazing. It developed a very small leak on the left side from what I can see. The ac was converted and blows cold. The interior needs full restoration, minor rust is beginning to develop. Will need trunk carpet because I took this out. Will need a paint job down the road but isnt bad at all (the sun is really does not like black cars down here). The hardtop rear hook gets stuck so one has to play to release it from the hatch. I did not ever think to part with her but no time to complete her as I had wished.
Again, the car looks amazing but I am very picky with small things. The bad news is as I was packing and moving from my last place last year a few items and boxes went missing with valuables that I cannot replace jewelry, coins and then my lots of cash, passport, the AMG docs in a plastic sleeve, birth certificate..many things. I think it happened when I went to drop off a load at my new place and either someone broke in or one of my friends helping me move left the box out. Either way this box went missing and the thought makes me want to hurl one out. I have the binder with all other import documents in a binder because that week I had brakes, calipers and a full tune up done and was putting the receipts in it. This too would have been missing as well. As far as the mileage goes the speedo stopped working around 2010 at 262 km as everything is in German. I want this to go to someone who will respect her and sees the potential. Most interest is coming from the West Coast believe it or not...I mentioned not to ship her in the ad because of the scams out there and want a cash and carry deal. Don't know what more to say but not feeling good selling her and with hurricane season approaching just don't want to see her get destroyed like my Viper and my Montero did.
