For sale is my 1988 Mercedes 420SL. I have owned several older Mercedes over the years and currently own a 124 cabriolet. however I had always fancied a W107 SL so bought this one a year ago as a treat for my 50th Birthday. indeed it has become known in the family as my ‘Mid Life Crisis' car!

Sadly though. the time has come to part with it. I am carrying out some alterations to my house this year and so as well as the money being useful. I will need the garage space for storing building materials etc.

It was first registered in March 1988 and is finished in Blue/Black metallic with mushroom leather interior.  I have the original option sheet and as well as the leather interior. it was ordered with headlamp wash wipe. heated front seats and a limited slip diff. It has now covered 94. 00 miles.

Note that this is NOT a mint condition example. nbsp;I didn't want something that I would be afraid to park in Tesco's car park.  From a few feet away it looks great and people always come up to you for a chat in car parks. but up close there are some imperfections to the bodywork which a new owner may wish to attend to and the car is priced accordingly. The same can be said of the interior. it's presentable enough and I've fitted a new set of overmats but there is a split in the leather on the passenger seat. I took the car to D Class Trimmers in Woking. they specialise in classic Mercedes interiors and they can replace this section of leather for around £175. The mohair soft top is in excellent condition.

On the plus side. it has four nearly new Continental tyres and comes with an MOT till March 2014.  There is a file full of old servicing bills dating back to 1993 and just about every old MOT certificate. The service book is stamped up to 83. 00 miles in 2006. it's just had an oil change and new front brake pads fitted. these were an advisory on the MOT. It has been 100% reliable in the time I have owned it and once we get some warm weather I know I will miss it. There is a JVC CD radio. however the electric aerial is not working but the CD player is fine. It has had an immobiliser fitted. Probably one of the cheapest facelifted R107's for sale at the moment.

Viewing is welcome at any mutually convenient time. the car is near to Pulborough in West Sussex.  Please give me a call on 07815 107911 for any further information.

Price. £8950 ONO.
