1984 Mercedes-Benz 500 SL, Registration no. B303 XBA Chassis no. 1070462A017028
Odometer Reading: 99,382
MoT Expiry: 01/05/2021
*Comprehensive history
*Has been restored
*Ideal colour combination
The 'R107' SL was a classic almost as soon as it ended its 18-years production run and today they make perfectly usable daily drivers, especially when, as with this example, they come with a factory hardtop. MPH's car has covered 10,000 miles since being restored and its bodywork is excellent, the paint very good bar an easily-repaired scratch to the bootlid. External trim, glass and 'Mexican hat' alloy wheels remain in very good order. The interior is testament to Mercedes-Benz build quality of this era with excellent cloth seats, while the dashboard and trim are presenting very well. Custom-made sheepskin seat and rear shelf covers are fitted. The boot is in equally good order. Starting and running well, the vendor notes that the air condition has been re-gassed prior to sale. The electrical system is in very good condition and an Alpine stereo is fitted. Just presented for MOT and passed expiring May 2021.
A restored example of the ever-popular R107, fitted with hard- and soft-tops and the desirable 'Mexican hat' alloy wheels. The bodywork and interior are in very good condition. It comes with comprehensive service history.
