Mercedes-Benz - 380 SL V8- 1985

Mercedes-Benz - 380SL V8 from 1985, R107 W107 version, with ASI certificate of historical importance. This is a V8 of the last series of the 380 model, which has the advantage to be a V8 but with an engine displacement of 3,800 cc and lower consumption than the 5,000/5,600 cc V8 engines produced later. The exterior/interior colour scheme is factory original and there is the hardtop option to use the car in the winter months. This Mercedes SL was imported from the USA in 2017 and the previous owner carried out in 2017-2018 many works documented with photos and invoices for over 15,000 Euros: - total repainting in the original blue metallic colour, including hardtop - engine block overhaul with grinding of cylinders, shaft, connecting rods etc. - overhaul of the automatic transmission - side seals of the hood - overhaul of the exhaust system. In addition, in the last year 2019-2020 new rear shock absorbers were fitted, complete overhaul of the braking system with completely new pipes, discs, pads and brake callipers. Four new white wall tyres have just been fitted. The structure of the car is very solid and the photos on the car lift show this. It was also inspected with a thickness gauge and no signs of major accidents were found. The technical inspection was carried out in September 2019 and is valid until September 2021. The car has documents in order for the transfer of ownership in Italy and can be easily registered in European countries. It is also ASI (historical register) registered with historical car registration number on the registration document, and this allows the vehicle to circulate in cities with ASI exemption. Please note: there are some marks (visible at a short distance) on the paint due to a car cover used for a short period. The kilometres are not verifiable. It is located in Quarrata 51039, PT, Italy.
