A 1983 Mercedes R107 280SL convertible automatic and looks wonderful in polar silver metallic with dark blue leather interior, with dark blue hood and dark blue hardtop. The vehicle comes with the new and old log books, new mot plus old mots etc, the original service book and a box of bills etc spent on this vehicle, some dating as far back as 1983.

The vehicle has recently had a new water pump, engine flush and oil change, a water flush and new antifreeze etc. The electric cold start has been upgraded, it has had new front disc s calliper brake pipes and some brake pipe renewal and the rear brakes have been serviced with new callipers etc. The underside of the car has been cleaned off and weather proofed. This car is just over 40 years old and may be eligible for a historic listing by DVLA. The owner has had a new mot recently and passed without issue, and the recommissioning was carried out due to long term storage.

On inspection the body is very good, and the bottom of the doors, rear wings wheel arches etc are very good. It is very good under the bonnet and in the boot area, the front and rear valances are also very good, the paint has a deep shine, and the shut lines and fit is very nice. The paint colour is polar silver with a thin dark blue pinstripe which contrasts nicely with the dark blue hood and interior. The hood looks like it was replaced in 2002 (there is a bill for the roof material totalling £1300). The vehicle has front spot lamps, the alloy wheels are also in good condition. The vehicle has new rear boot badges etc, the interior is very good with a nice patina, the carpets are in good condition, the dashboard is good etc and the vehicle had the option of rear seats with seat belts.

The owner tells us it's a nice drive with plenty of power and the gearbox is smooth etc, and the brakes are very good. To find a nice one of these at auction in this price range is rare so it's a good looking and good driving car with recent recommissioning, a new mot and is ready to use. A spare set of keys comes with the vehicle.
