Looks nice, but suspicious. I was wondering about the cheap price, but then I saw the expected explanation.

“...keep in mind this car started out a Coupe then converted to a convertible in the late 80's.”

As there are no pictures with the top up, it either doesn’t exist or it isn’t very pretty.

Yeah, that is suspicious.

Chop job, looks like they left part of the coupe roof just behind the windshield frame, be leery of rigidity and the top assembly, zu teuer.

I’m sure. I’m not considering buying it, just fantasizing over it.

If you want a high grille 111 cabrio, spend a bit more and get a real one. 220SE is the least expensive:

Prices rise with displacement:

And get wacky with the final run low grille V8s:

I guess in a world of 200K+ 190SLs, anything is possible. These low grille 3.5 cars could be had for 100K or so 15 years ago.
