Description
1983 Mercedes-Benz 500SL (R107) - Signal Red - HUD 972Y
1983 Mercedes-Benz 500SL finished in Signal Red with a black leather interior, black soft top and matching hardtop.
The car was owned by a previous keeper for around 15 years, during which time it benefited from over 6,000 worth of restoration and mechanical work, including refurbishment of the steering, suspension and braking systems by Mercedes-trained technicians, as evidenced by the accompanying invoices.
Following this, the car was owned by another keeper for a few years, who invested a further 2,500 in bodywork, including welding and paintwork carried out by Crowley Green Bodyshop.
Since my ownership, the car has been stored with Millfield Car Storage, where it has been regularly run and maintained, with additional work carried out including refurbishment of the air conditioning system and the fitting of a new exhaust manifold.
Powered by the original 5.0-litre M117 V8 with automatic transmission, the car drives as it should and offers exactly what you'd expect from an R107.
Comes with:
* Matching Signal Red hardtop
* Black soft top
* Black leather interior
* Owner's handbook
* Service record
* Folder of invoices
The R107 needs little introduction and has become one of Mercedes-Benz's most desirable classics. The combined investment by previous owners and myself has resulted in an honest, usable and reliable example in a great colour combination that's ready to be enjoyed.
