It looks like a conversion from a coupe. Its missing the glovebox lid reading/map light
found on original w111 convertibles. Still pretty amazing though.

I mean should this be considered a w111 3.5? other than the outside appearance and a few minor things nothing else is w111 coupe. but I guess some people like the term "ultimate driving machine"
Excellent workmanship though.

I'm torn.
I like originality but I also like the "because we can" approach!

I'm interested in the shocks, does the car handle better in turns? (less role)
