Description
Finished in Blue Black Metallic (199) with Grey Leather (278) and Pearl Grey Metallic Hardtop (122) and Black Fabric Soft Top (9001), this stunning top class example has covered just 29800 miles from new. On top of the original purchase price this car boasts the cost options of leather seats (with rear child seats), and an outside temperature gauge, whilst standard fit items on the 420SL that 300SL buyers had to pay for included Metallic Paint, a Limited Slip Differential, Cruise Control, and Headlamp Wash Wipe.
A common aftermarket upgrade selected by owners of the R107 SL in the 1980s was air conditioning. This 420 SL was upgraded with this option by Alpin Air, utilising all the correct buttons and controls found with factory fitment. This is a fantastic addition to this car, offering drivers and passengers a more pleasurable journey.
The well-presented history file includes a service book showing 23 stamps, with the first 5 coming from Castles Mercedes-Benz and 15 more from Gerard Mann Mercedes-Benz. Between 2008 and 2020, this car spent several years in Portugal where it was used sparingly and enjoyed in the fine climate. This is a car that is ready to be enjoyed, the last owner purchased the car from a Mercedes Benz specialists last year, advertised at £69995 and then spent over £9000 having the car fully prepared with Hilton and Moss with the invoice on file confirming a full service, new anti-roll bar drop links, new fuel pump insulators, new fuel pump, new rear light seals, various new chrome trims, new screen finisher trims, and a full weather seal kit. This is now a beautifully prepared, show class example and represents excellent value at £59, 995.
