HISTORY:
A very well-appointed R107 500SL, in one of the most desirable colour combinations of Nautic Blue bodywork with grey leather interior, complemented by dark blue soft top. The front seats having been re trimmed in the correct leather.
The air-conditioning runs ice-cold, and the vehicle is in an overall beautiful condition.
Over the last 10 years the current owner has invested in detailed and expensive cosmetic and mechanical work. The rear boot spoiler, standard to the 500SL, was removed prior to paintwork being done to the rear.
A London car, it has always been garaged. The very-extensive documentation shows gearbox rebuild, rear axle seals and timing chain replaced; with servicing on-the-dot shown by fully-stamped service book.
The wheels have been refurbished and have the correct Michelin tyres, no expense spared. With safety in mind the rare option of an Air Bag is fitted.
WHY BUY?
This 500SL has been inspected bumper-to-bumper, and has been similarly maintained, to give full confidence that this R107 500SL V8 is a classic that you can really enjoy. There is nothing to be concerned about with a higher mileage 500SL, as these engines, with timing-chain replaced, and over-serviced, will drive into the 200, 000-mile bracket with ease. It starts without hesitation and changes gear as it was designed to.
With air-conditioning on tap, and a great service and maintenance history, this 500 SL wants for nothing. It will be a pleasure to own and to travel in, whatever the season, whatever the country.
