The Appeal
The greatest convertible grand tourer of all time? You're looking at it. It's small wonder that the R107 SL remained in production for eighteen years. Solidly built, effortlessly stylish, powerful and luxurious - it's the perfect car for cruising around Europe.
The 380 engine is well-regarded as one of the smaller V8s, more inclined to rev than its larger counterparts. Finished in Lapis Blue Metallic with a matching blue interior and Zebrano woodwork, out right-hand drive SL has benefitted from substantial mechanical and cosmetic work carried out in 2022. A colossal £36,790 was spent across mechanical restoration and a bare metal respray, with an invoice from TM Motors to show for it.
The car holds a current MOT valid until March 2027 with no advisories.
The vendor says:
"Not much known about its history but in 2022 it was mechanically fully restored. This cost over £36,500 and was meant to be my forever car. Divorce ended that plan. Refurbish the interior, replace the wheel nuts and she will win prizes."image.png1.36 MB
