- Supplied with hard top and stand

The Mercedes 107 Series of SLs was built to last, but 'HPK 692K' appears to have done even better than many. It won the Mercedes-Benz Club's 40th Anniversary cup in 2012 for being the best 40 year old R107 in the club, and featured in the March 2008 issue of Classic & Sports Car. Its vendor currently rates the bodywork and Signal Red paintwork as 'excellent', the V8 engine and Black/Grey Tex interior trim as 'very good' and the automatic transmission as 'good'. In recent times the timing chain and tensioners have been replaced and the fuel system refurbished (during which the pipes were replaced with those of an ethanol-resistant material). The righthand drive September 1971 Benz's comprehensive specification includes: rear seats and seat belts; wind deflector; matching hardtop and stand; soft indoor cover; owner's handbook signed by Mercedes driver extraordinaire Stirling Moss; and a large history file. The odometer currently registers 143,378 miles.
