Lot details Registration No: DWR655W Chassis No: 10704322015197 Mot Expiry: Feb 2007
The R107-series SL was an extremely accomplished design as witnessed by its exceptional eighteen-year production span (1971-1989). Notable for its adoption of trailing-arm independent rear suspension in place of the antiquated swing-axle system that Mercedes had doggedly developed for so long, it proved reassuringly sure-footed. An impression only reinforced by the provision of power-assisted steering and all-round servo assisted disc brakes. Propelled by a new generation of all alloy SOHC V8 engines, the R107-series SL convertibles proved effortless performers.
Finished in light metallic blue with blue part cloth upholstery, this particular example is described by the vendor as being in "good" condition with regard to its 3499cc V8 engine, three-speed automatic transmission, electrical equipment, interior trim, chassis, bodywork, paintwork and wheels / tyres. Although not warranted, the car's recorded mileage of 143,000 is at least partially substantiated by some "service history (seventeen stamps) mostly Mercedes specialist or main dealer" and "fifteen old MOTs". Benefiting from a "recent new hood in blue", 'DWR 655W' is said to "drive well". Riding on alloy wheels, it is offered for sale with a factory hardtop, tool kit, service history and MOT certificate valid until February 6th 2007.
All successful bids must be paid in full by midday the day after the auction at the latest.
