Very rare trip computer. I'm not sure they were ever available on UK spec cars as it was all geared for KM's.

All that spec and no heated seats (I guess you don't need them in Monaco)- looks like it has a rear blind though.

The trip was never option here as they never did one in English and it does not have a rear blind

Yes, stunning advert, very nice standard car indeed, but very over priced. At the end of the day, there are a lot of these with only slightly higher mileage and in pretty much the same condition, with full history and they make around 5-6k. It's not the first nor the last in line and mileage is not low enough to make it a real collectors car. It needs to be priced to drive. I'd have thought £7k ish would do it. If it was AMG, then that's a different story. Just my humble opinion.

That central button in the picture behind the gearstick can only be "town & country" horn setting then if there's no blind. Still, unusual to see a 560 with no heated seats.

My 124 has town and country horn, never really saw the problem that it solved, but I love it none the less, teutonic crazy throroughness.

Always wondered why the trip computer was covered in my SL handbook but not mentioned on the price list!

They did exactly the same trip computer as pictured in the R107. God knows how much it cost back then!
