I am not sure I understand your question. If you are asking if the car was converted from the single timing chain to the dual timing chain then the answer is yes. It is also pictured and was inspected in March of this year.
A beautiful car! Is the cam drive via a duplex chain?. Many thanks.
As my reserve as been met my 380SL will be sold today. This has been a wonderful car to own and I will miss all the compliments you get when driving it. In the 8 years I have owned the car it has never failed a state safety inspection and has always returned me home without problems. If anyone has any other questions please feel free to ask. Thanks for your interest.
Two small blemishes small bubble left front quarter see photo and right door someone got it with another door in parking lot both are not noticeable unless you are looking for them
can you please add or highlight pictures of the defects such as the minor paint flaws and bubbling in right front fender. thank you

Everything on the car works, that being said I've never tried the cruise control. dash lights work but not the dimmer they are either on or off. After replacing cable for hardtop removal twice relocated to trunk it works just in the trunk. The hard comes with a rack and cover. The only original wheel with the car is the spare.
BID: $6,000
Do you have the original wheels?
Is everything in working order on and in the car? If not what needs attention? Does the rack for holding the hard top included?
