Apart from the rollover bar, that is.

ETA - I suppose it's not standard then, is it!

500SE.
Steering wheel bolts changed to stainless steel, exhaust sleeved, SH heat shield bolted on, but that is it. So close to being unmolested, if not a complete virgin!

Mine is.

Except the Peninsula stainless manifold.
And Y-piece.
And Cerbera seats.
And smooth bore elbow.
And braided hoses.
And SHRJ ARB drop links.

only leven bits on mine.
but it is a fact, that for people like me who was looking for a car as original as possible, it is actualy rather hard to find.

I think the body, chassis and wheels might be the only standard bits left on mine.

In my case the leven bits were a dealer option from new?

So as originally purchased...

Along with many other cars with original but non-standard options/bits
