Description
The ultimate epitome of sophistication, style and elegance.
This 1989 Mercedes-Benz R107 420SL is now offered for sale. The current owner has owned this car since March 2021 and has spent in excess of £14, 000 since ensuring this is one of the best R107s available. Finished in the colour to have, Signal Red with Black interior. The vehicle has covered 80, 000 miles since new and comes complete with a full service history in the original service book which also contains the original datacard for the car and folder of paperwork and corresponding old MOT certificates backing up the mileage the car stands at today.
The bodywork is entirely rust and rot free including the Achilles heel on an R107… the bulkhead. The chrome all around the car remains bright, full of lustre and untarnished. The same can be said about the rubber seals and rubber bumper trims, again all are very fresh. The interior is in immaculate order and is indeed a wonderful place to be.
The car has just had in excess of £13, 000 spent on it and is ready to go for its next custodian with a fresh MOT carried out, with no advisories.
Work has included:
-Window alignment
-Idle adjustment
-Engine oil and filter change
-Air filter
-Power steering filter and fluid change

As a result of all this work, on the road this car drives absolutely faultlessly and is a pleasure to be behind the wheel of. Nothing needs to be done and this is evident with just how well it drives. It is a testament to what Mercedes-Benz stood for and how these cars have stood the test of time. They really don’t make them how they used to.
