1980 MERCEDES 350SL 350 SL V8 AUTO R107 Convertible WHITE (FULLY RESTORED)

1980 MERCEDES BENZ 350 SL V 8

FULLY RESTORED AT GREAT EXPENSE (£10,000!)

(HUGE SUMS OF MONEY SPENT)

MECHANICS ARE SUPERB AND RUNS AND DRIVES LIKE A DREAM!

PLEASE NOTE THIS IS THE HIGHLY DESIRED 1980 MODEL AND NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH OTHERS! EXTREMELY SOUGHT AFTER

UNDERNEATH IS ALSO SUPERB and solid

THE CAR HAS BEEN RESTORED AND HUGE SUMS OF MONEY SPENT AND NUMEROUS REPLACEMENT PANELS (EVEN THOUGH NOT NECESSARILY NEEDED BUT REPLACED JUST TO PERFECT IT)

LOOKS JAW DROPPING AS YOU CAN SEE BY THE PHOTOS! THIS CAR COULD BE A SHOW STOPPER AND THE PINNACLE AT ALL CAR SHOWS. ITS PROBABLY THE BEST SL IN THE UK! WITH AN ABSOLUTE ABUNDANCE OF PAPERWORK AND HISTORY (MORE THAN I HAVE EVER SEEN WITH A CAR AND WE HAVE DEALT WITH CLASSICS FOR YEARS!) THE HISTORY SPANS BACK OVER THE LAST 40 YEARS!

SELLERS DREAM IN THE FACT THAT WE PURCHASED IT FROM ELDERLY OWNER WHO KEEP THE MECHANICS TIP TOP AND REPAIRED ANYTHING THAT EVEN HAD HINT OF ISSUE AS DENOTED BY PREVIOUS MOT HISTORY SHOULD YOU WISH TO CHECK ONLINE

WE HAVE GIVEN THE CAR A COMPLETE OVERHAUL AND HAVE SPENT NEARLY A YEAR RESTORING IT AT GREAT COST! NOT JUST THE BODY AND FOUNDATIONS BUT WE HAVE INSTALLED BRAND NEW DISCS AND PADS ETC. DEPENDANT ON HOW FAR YOU WANT TO TAKE IT YOU COULD REPLACE THE ODD CHROME TRIM BIT FOR NEW. THE SOFTTOP IS ALSO IN SUPERB CONDITION BUT IF IT WAS ME I WOULD REPLACE THE BACK TWO CORNER WINDOWS ON THE SOFT TOP AS SHOWING AGE. EASY ENOUGH AND CHEAP TO DO (UNSTITCH AND REPLACE)

WE HAVE PUT THE CAR BACK TO ITS ORIGINAL COLOUR OF WHITE (CURRENTLY SHOWS AS SILVER AS LAST OWNER PAINTED IT SILVER FOR SOME REASON!) BUT HAVE COMPLETED V 5 READY SO WHEN THE NEW OWNER APPLIES FOR V 5 IN THEIR NAME IT WILL COME BACK AS WHITE

MILEAGE CURRENTLY SHOWING AS 72,000 BUT HAD A SPEEDO CHANGE JUST BELOW 100 K (FULLY DOCUMENTED WITH HISTORY) WITH A SPEEDO SHOWING AT THAT TIME OF 41,237 SO IN EFFECT THE CAR HAS OVERALL MILEAGE OF ABOUT 125 K. THE PREVIOUS OWNER DID NOT AMEND NEW SPEEDO TO REFLECT ACTUAL MILEAGE BUT OBVIOUSLY THERE IS MANY COMPANIES THAT CAN DO THIS SHOULD YOU REQUIRE CHEAPLY

ONCE IN LIFETIME PURCHASE!

THE INTERIOR IS ALSO GREAT AS YOU CAN SEE, BIG MONEY AND EFFORT HAS BEEN PUT INTO THIS AND I COULD SIT IN IT ALL DAY! VERY COSY

THE ULTIMATE CAR FOR SHOW OR DAILY DRIVER

LETS NOT MESS AROUND HERE, WE ALL KNOW THE CAR IS ONE OF A KIND AND HAS HAD THOUSANDS SPENT AND SHOULD BE PRICED A LOT HIGHER THAN WHAT I HAVE LISTED IT FOR SO PLEASE DO NOT INSULT ME WITH SILLY OFFERS, THE CAR SHOULD BE £25,000 - £30,000 BUT I HAVE DECIDED TO LIST ON LIVE AUCTION WITH NO RESERVE!!

I AM HAVING A CLEAR OUT OF MANY OF OUR CLASSIC AND AMERICAN MUSCLE CARS (INCLUDING PROJECTS) AS WE ARE RESTORING ABOUT ONE CAR PER YEAR SO OBVIOUSLY NOT WORTH US HAVING SEVERAL CARS SAT IN WORKSHOP WITH MONEY TIED UP IN THEM! (ALTHOUGH OBVIOUSLY ALL CLASSICS ARE GOING UP IN VALUE MONTHLY). THEREFORE PLEASE KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED ON OUR OTHER AUCTIONS TO INCLUDE ESCORT RS TURBO, MUSTANGS, CORVETTES, E TYPES AND OTHER HIGH VALUE DESIRED CLASSICS

This car also has the benefit of being classed as a historic vehicle and therefore it does NOT require MOT (MOT EXEMPT) and it has FREE road tax

OBVIOUSLY INSPECTIONS WELCOME AND YOU CAN ACTUALLY START AND DRIVE IT IF SERIOUS BUYER! BUT THERE IS NO POINT COMING TO VIEW IF YOUR GOING TO OFFER SILLY MONEY OR A LOT LESS, I HAVE PRICED IT AT SILLY MONEY ALREADY ) SO I EXPECT IT TO SELL WITH HASTE

THIS WILL OBVIOUSLY GENERATE AN EXTREME AMOUNT OF INTEREST AND I HAVE PRICED RIDICOUSLY LOW FOR QUICK SALE SO PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE IN A POSITION TO PROCEED BEFORE YOU JUST CLICK BUY IT NOW! DO NOT PANIC BUY IF YOU ARE NOT IN A POSITION TO PROCEED!

HARD TOP ALSO INCLUDED

I HAVE NUMEROUS PHOTOS AND VIDEOS OF THE CAR WITH ROOF UP AND ALSO HARDTOP ON SHOULD YOU REQUIRE ME TO SEND THEM VIA WHATAP (JUST SEND MESSAGE WITH INFO AND I CAN FURNACE YOU WITH INFO VIA WHATAP)

A SUPERB INVESTMENT THAT IS GOING UP MONTHLY!

Deposit required at end of auction, I can deliver the car anywhere in England or Wales for £250 or collection is from Rugby, Warwickshire
