Description
L'Atelier des 1000 presents this elegant Mercedes-Benz 500 SL R107 in a particularly seductive configuration with its astral grey metallic hue and perforated black leather interior. This emblematic cabriolet is a marvellous illustration of the automotive refinement of the 70's. Presented here in this top-of-the-range version, it combines performance, comfort and, above all, a timeless allure.
A veritable concentrate of Mercedes know-how, the W107 is still a benchmark in the world of classic cars, offering uncompromising versatility and ease of use.
Our example was delivered new to Belgium in January 1988, making it one of the last models produced. It was imported into France in 2020 by its current owner, who will have covered 10, 000 km on board since its arrival on French soil, the vehicle has benefited from rigorous maintenance, with more than €18, 000 worth of documented work carried out.
Particularly well optioned by its first owner, the vehicle has many options such as:
- Perforated black leather upholstery - Heated seats - Orthopaedic lumbar support - Cruise control - SRS driver's airbag - Heated electric mirrors - Becker Grand Prix radio - Automatic aerial - Folding central armrest - Athermic windscreen The car has undergone extensive mechanical refurbishment, with many components replaced, including a large number of engine and gearbox seals, hoses, accessory belts, engine mounts and cradle supports, among others.
The front shock absorbers and pads have also been changed, as have the front bearings.
The muffler, replaced in 2022, offers a muffled sound that is perfect for driving. The original rims are in very good condition and the tyres have recently been replaced. This work ensures that the famous Mercedes V8 5. 0 engine runs smoothly, healthily and reliably, retaining all its original nobility and flexibility.
The paintwork is of a high standard and there are no cosmetic defects. The bodywork is aligned to standard, the chrome is in superb condition and the bumpers have recently been refurbished. The underbody is in very good condition, free from corrosion and in keeping with the rest of the vehicle.
