Classic Mercedes 500SL convertible. 1985 model120k mileageHard top included. £150 all weather waterproof cover included. Replacement headlamp glass sourced from Stuttgart. included. Always garaged in my ownership. 9k miles added in three years.
Tax May 2014MOT Dec 2014  (Passed with minor advisories).
The classic R107 hard top and soft top convertible.  A 5 Litre V8 engine that was completely opened up in September 2013.  Full report that all cylinders are evenly worn and clear evidence that as she approaches her 30th year. this car has been cared for throughout her life.
I have owned this car for 3 years and she has been our pride and joy.  Sadly. the children have grown too large to hop in the bench backseat and I can no longer justify her sitting in the garage unused.  She's been to the West Country and the champagne fields of Epernay. Motoring smoothly and turning heads both here and on the continent.
Good Bits:
Chassis welded and full wax under seal.  Nov 2011. New tyres all round. Jan 2012Full re-spray and both front wings replaced.  Jan-May 2013. Full service. May 2013New roller chain. chain tightener. Aug 2013. New hydraulic tappet elements and rocker arm.  Sept 2013.
Bad Bits:
Drivers seat and front passenger seat need minor upholstery repair.  (Rear seat is fine). New carpets throughout. Replace soft top. Front near side headlamp is cracked.  (Sourced replacement head lamp glass from Stuttgart included).
I have directed all my time to refurbishing the engine and chassis.  What is left is the cosmetic finish of the interior.  The soft top is serviceable but to complete the renovation this should be done.  I have these three jobs left of what started as a long list.  Anyone who has owned a classic like this will tell you there is always another job to do. With the final cosmetic additions. this car would be in the £7-10k bracket.  Your are welcome to do your own research on the cost of carpet. upholstery and a new soft top.  
Priced with a sensible reserve.
