Mercedes Benz 350 SL ‘R107' Roadster Auto 1980 / V – 15K Warranted Miles – FSH ‘Time Warp'

£23. 50

This truly stunning. time warp 350SL was first registered on 24th April 1980 by its first owner an aerospace engineer. whom resided in Branksome Park. Poole. Dorset. a beautiful part of the world. He purchased it for his wife & subsequently put it in her name. so she could drive to her local golf club! This unreapable example has thus had only 3 previous keepers (2 husband & wife!) to date.  They kept the vehicle in a heated garage until they sold it on 1st December 1995 with the mileage of only 2. 00.

Its next owner purchasing it direct from the family. a gentlemen from Shootash. Hampshire. whom has also written to confirm the mileage. He kept the vehicle until it was sold to its current owner on 24th January 1997 when it had a warranted 5. 68 miles. as confirmed on the sales documents & in writing by the current retired Engineer owner whom has resided in Chipstead Village. since purchasing the vehicle on 24th January 1997.  Thus owning this cherished example for over 16 years & maintaining it regardless of cost. whilst being an MB club member.

The current mileage is 15. 20 & confirmed as warranted by the owners. with past MOT certificates & service history including the original stamped service book in support. You only need to look at the interior of the vehicle to see it's hardly been sat in as it presents as new!

This is an unreaptable blue chip investment & in all my years of owning & dealing in R107's I have only ever come across a handful of genuine ultra low mileage / low owner examples. This stunning vehicle is one of them & has been stored in the owner's heated garage for a number of years on SORN.   It even has all the original engine & interior stickers still attached. such as the seat belt green confirmation cert transfers! We have just conducted a comprehensive check. full recommission along with fresh MOT. span >  MB Bromley main agent service & full MB Bromley Health Check with accompanying report.

Our senior technician has just given this impressive vehicle a multi point check & full recommission. fitted a new Bosch battery. span >  replaced the sound deadening under the bonnet lid with the correct MB part from Jackson's of Pool. conducted a fresh MOT. a full machine polish of the exterior paintwork & a full detailed valet including the engine bay. We have also had our local MB main agent (Bromley) conduct a service with accompanying stamp in the book. They also performed a full Health Check covering all areas of the vehicle & every single box is ticked green. The service advisor even commented that when she rang to advise me the vehicle was ready for collection that the technician whom had worked on the vehicle could not believe how original & superior this vehicle was in every respect. It was by far the best R107 he had ever encountered! Need we say more… We can confirm this splendid vehicle is on the button and ready to go…

 

Previously this vehicle has had front pads & discs along with rear discs & callipers fitted in 2007. a warm up regulator & fuel pump in 2004 along with a complete exhaust system supplied by Jackson's of Poole in 1995

 

This vehicle is in exceptional time warp condition as one would expect with such a low mileage and well cared for SL. This is probably one of the best lowest mileage R107 SL's we have had the pleasure in offering and has obviously been maintained and cherished by Mercedes enthusiasts & club owners through out its life to date with no expense being spared. This must be a blue chip investment and is certainly better than having your money earning very little interest in the bank!
