1978 Mercedes-Benz 350SL (R107)
Later 350 with factory hard top in nice usable order
following recent restorative work and showing under 104,000
miles
Dating from October 1978 this later model 350SL features the
197bhp 3.5 V8 with Bosch K-jetronic fuel injection and is driven through 3-speed
automatic transmission. This nice example was imported and originally blue,
being colour changed in 2010 to this cheerful hue of orange/red we see here with
factory hard top and soft top residing underneath.
The interior has
evidently been refreshed with cream MB Tex leatherette fitted piped blue,
optional rear seats, matching cream carpets, wood veneer dash and caramel dash
top. The car shows 103,762 miles which is nothing for one of these lazy old V8's
and comes with a file of history.
It's history file includes V5C, hard
top keys, Mercedes magazine and a few invoices including a rear light lens from
SL Shop at £299 in October this year and detail from the last selling dealer
(Monmouth Used Cars) of work undertaken to the car including full respray,
refurbished 14" Mexican hat alloy wheels, re-coloured interior, new boot carpet,
new windscreen, new sill covers, new heater blower motor, repaired vacuum system
on central locking, new cam shaft and follower, service, new alternator and
brake calliper dated September 2019.
In addition we see at least 7 old
MOTs along with the current MOT which runs until August 2021 showing just two
minor advisories for tyre wear to the rear tyres which look to have been
addressed with new rubber.For more information contact [email protected]
