Lot details Registration No: GRF278T Chassis No: 10704322014054 Mot Expiry: April 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 V8 engines, R107 SL(s) were effortless performers.
Finished in red with tan MB Tex 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. Entered from a deceased estate, it is believed but not warranted to have covered 63,000 miles from new (a figure partially substantiated by the presence of ten previous MOT certificates among its paperwork). Benefiting from both soft- and hard-tops (though, the latter could apparently do with "a little bit of work"), it rides on smart alloy wheels. Capable of year round use, this stylish SL is offered for sale with assorted paperwork and "12 months" MOT certificate.
PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle has an MOT until April 2007.
