Description
1987 MERCEDES-BENZ R107 420SL
Previously supplied by us and just come back in part exchange is this beautiful r107 .
Finished in diamond white with a contrasting blue interior , only 90000 warranted miles from new with a huge folder full of history and low owners .
A much more desirable later model that benefits from a galvanised body so tends not to suffer with the rot issues of the earlier cars .
The body as a whole is in very genuine , straight condition with only very minor chips, marks , all the wheel arches, sills and jacking points are absolutely rock solid and require no welding . A minor repair is required to the base of the passenger front wing , drivers wing has a bleb in the paint about the size of your thumb nail and the rear valance has a small dent and a couple of marks - this is being very critical and overall its a very nice presentable car.
The interior is in superb condition and the only thing that really lets it down is a few cracks in the dash top that can be easily repaired .
Engine and gearbox both perform as they should , ticker is just right with no hunting and no signs of any excessive oil/ fluid leaks when its stood .
The last owner purchased from us as a gift and its just sat in his garage ever since so part exchanged against a classic aston martin we had instead . With this in mind it will require a new mot and service/ check over before use . As such we are selling on an “as is where is basis” as we do not have to prep it currently . As a prepared retail car it is significantly more valuable especially coming into the summer so this is a great buy for someone.
You are more than welcome to view , professional inspections are also welcome , but will be on a strictly first come first served basis .
If you do your research you will see that a 420 is the rarest of all 107 series and this will command a price of at leat £23 to £26k with little expenditure .
Fully HPI clear .
