1976 Mercedes-Benz R107 350SL

HISTORY:

For the current, very long-term owner, owner, this R107 350SL was his dream car when he saw it in the street as a child. 20 years later the car came up for sale: he bought it and he’s had it ever since.

Some years ago, the car was restored and taken back to factory-original condition with the removal of the 1980’s AMG body kit with which it had been retro-fitted.

Metalwork, bulkhead, all new paint add-up to a sympathetic restoration: it’s not a concours or show car.

Mechanical work was done on engine, brakes and suspension. The interior was refreshed with original seats retained, but with carpets and soft top replaced.

With a stainless-steel exhaust system fitted, and a turn of the key, you get the nice early-V8 burble.

It sits on refurbished Mexican Hat alloy wheels and has the correct tyres.

It is a very nice place to be inside, with refurbished wood console and the early cream dash top.

There is a documented history of all works undertaken over all the years of current ownership.

WHY BUY?

If you want a period R107- painted in the classic Signal Red, with cream check, and propelled by a beautiful bellowing V8 - then this does tick a few boxes.

The car isn’t perfect, but can be fully-enjoyed without the spending or concerns of owning a garage queen.

The lovely mileage of just 75,000 makes it a worthy driver for many years to come – and you can cruise the bright lights of London without facing a ULEZ charge.

This 350 SL is there to be enjoyed and why not, with its tasty handsome looks.
