Mot Expiry: March 2013

Launched in 1971, the W107 Series SL was a beautifully engineered motorcar. Notably rigid for a convertible, its two-door monocoque shell was equipped with all round independent suspension, power assisted steering and four-wheel disc brakes. Lauded by the contemporary motoring press for its performance and refinement, the W107's avant garde yet elegant styling resulted in a memorable production run of no less than 18 years.

Powered by the 4520cc V8 unit mated to automatic transmission, this particular right-hand drive example is described by the vendor as being "good" with regard to its engine, gearbox, chassis, electrical equipment, bodywork, interior, wheels/tyres and as having "very good" paintwork. Finished in two-tone Green with Cream hide upholstery, it is said to have had only three keepers, one of whom reputedly put it into dry storage for 15 years. It has been in the present ownership for approximately nine years, during which time thousands of pounds have been spent on restoration, (including new seat coverings), and is believed but not warranted to have covered c.75,329 miles from new. Benefiting from both hard and soft tops (the former retaining its stand and the latter being new), it is offered for sale with a stamped service book, MOT certificate valid until March 2013 and road tax current until February 2013.
