Description

Mercedes-Benz 500 SL (R107) | Exceptional History | Major 7k+ Overhaul Only 1000 miles ago | Collector Quality | Hardtop + Soft-top | Historic Car | Ulez, Congestion, Tax, MOT free | Appreciating Classic 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. Why This One Stands Out: Original stamped service book from new (1983) Extensive invoices spanning decades Major mechanical overhaul at SL Shop Timing chain replaced (critical job done) Suspension, steering & drivetrain refreshed Consistent mileage with no history gaps Maintained by Mercedes specialists Major Mechanical Work (SL Shop Specialist) At approx. 108k miles: Timing chain, guides & tensioner replaced Full engine service (oil, filters, plugs) Engine mounts & subframe bushes replaced Propshaft couplings replaced Anti-roll bar links replaced Track rod gaiters replaced Brake hoses & pipework replaced ABS sensor replaced Throttle linkage bushes replaced Thermostat & temp sensor replaced Shock mounts replaced Steering adjustments carried out Service History Full Mercedes-Benz stamped service book from new Early life maintained by main dealers Continued care by independent Mercedes specialists Supporting invoices covering: Servicing Cooling system (water pump, thermostat, belts) Suspension components (incl. springs) Fuel system repairs Heating system repairs Mileage progression is consistent and well documented throughout. Condition & Driving Starts, drives and pulls exactly as a 500 SL should Strong V8 performance Smooth gearbox Solid, composed ride Mechanically very well sorted thanks to recent investment A rare opportunity to purchase a genuinely well-maintained 500 SL with full history from new and significant recent investment a standout example that is ready to be enjoyed.
