DESCRIPTION
A well preserved Mercedes R107...After being stored in a dry facility for the last 16 years this splendid SL350 has just re-emerged and is being re-commissioned in readiness for the sale. The Roman Bronze paintwork has stood the test of time well and the complementing beige leather and cloth interior shows little signs of wear with just a little light patina in places showing the car has been used but cared for. The odometer currently indicates 69,000 miles and this is believed to be genuine although not warranted, however, there is some missing paperwork that would help substantiate the mileage and this may materialise prior to the sale.The R107 Series of SLs are probably the fastest appreciating of the later models and this car, in this condition, offered with a fresh MOT makes a lot of sense.
