1988 Mercedes-Benz R107 500 SL

85,900 miles

Arctic White (147U) with Royal Blue Leather (272) and Dark Blue Fabric Soft Top (5010)

This delightful high-specification car is a very interesting proposition. It’s finished in glorious white, chosen in a time when white was a than less trendy colour. Now enjoying somewhat of a resurgence, a white R107 is a very smart acquisition indeed.

It wasn’t just the white paintwork that the first owner of this car opted for. Air conditioning, Heated Seats, Rear Seating and an Outside Temperature Gauge complete the specification sheet, giving this car a ‘new’ price of £45,702… or more than £120,000 in today’s money. This is one very high specification R107 SL.

A previous owner has taken the time to create a hand written top sheet detailing all aspects of the car’s service history. The box file that accompanies this car is extensive. After spending time browsing through the documents present with this car it becomes clear that previous owners have loved and cherished it regardless of the cost.

This car has recently been subject to over £6,000 spend addressing a number of areas with the car to ensure it is in the best possible condition for the next owner to enjoy.

This Mercedes-Benz has been hand-picked by SLSHOP’s sales team due to its high calibre status. Every inch of this vehicle’s exterior, interior and mechanicals have been inspected by SLSHOP’s workshops to ensure the vehicle meets our world leading standards. While every effort has been made to offer pristine vehicles, there will be some age-related marks, unless otherwise stated.

We advise interested parties to join us for a coffee to peruse the documentation accompanying this vehicle. There are servicing records and invoices, MOT and tax records dating back many years and as such must be viewed in person.
