A truly standout example of the iconic Mercedes-Benz 500 SL, presented with FULL service history from new (1983) and extensive documented maintenance throughout its life.
This is not your average R107 this car has been consistently maintained, heavily invested in, and properly cared for, making it a strong example for both enthusiasts and collectors.

Original stamped service book from new (1983)
Extensive invoices spanning decades

Timing chain replaced (critical job done)
Suspension, steering & drivetrain refreshed
Consistent mileage with no history gaps
