Description
If you want a mechanically bullet proof, well-built, over-engineered classic, then a Mercedes is the car for you. They were leagues ahead of the competition in their day with a new car price to justify the build quality.
From its launch in 1971, the SL soon became the standard all other Grand convertible touring cars aspired to.
This beautiful Signal red example has been pampered from day one with regular servicing carried out including recent work in Marbella where she lived for 14 years.
She has lovely black leather heated seats, fitted rear seat, outside temp gauge, cruise control some really rare factory options.
The original handbooks, service books and years of information are in the history file which has service invoices from the 1980s to present.
She feels and smells like a true 80s Mercedes and confirms the reputation of one of the worlds greatest car manufacturers.
The hard and soft tops are in great condition and these 1980s SL’s look very similar to the original 1960’s pagoda icon at a fraction of the price.
On the road, she is a fine GT tourer with a lusty performance from the torquey V8 engine allied to the smooth four-speed auto gearbox.
You could set off and tour the South of France tomorrow in style and guarantee you would get there with utmost reliability.
Supplied fully inspected, serviced and with a comprehensive 12-month warranty.
