I always look for the heater boxes on either side of the engine compartment. They were made of heavy pressboard (cardboard) and by now have deteriorated to dust. one in this car that I can see, but the way in which they photographed the engine compartment makes me suspect.
As for “expertly restored,” I think not. Someone painted this their favorite color(s), none of which were standard MB colors available at the time. It’s a major bastardization in every way. I wonder what the undercarriage looks like. This is one of those “restorations” that was done to suit the owner’s taste, not follow the original design. As a result, it’s a one-off car, making it near impossible to sell/market or recover costs.
