non-clothing recent purchase:
1984 Mercedes-Benz 300D
Photo was taken right after purchase, prior to any wash or anything else so the car is a bit dirty and paint is looking a little dull. It's a bit of a restoration project but also a totally decent daily driver in its current state. Seats & dash are in excellent condition though some of the other interior upholstery is a bit worn. Paint is not original, nor are the wheels/hubcaps, but the car came with the original Bundt wheels as well, which I will likely swap back on once I've had them refinished. Prior owner tinted the windows, which I'm on the fence about since the look isn't quite right for this car but the benefits in southern California are indisputable. Car has about 180k miles on it, so I can drive it and mess around with it without feeling bad but it's not one of those 300k+ examples that need to be completely rebuilt from the ground up either.
