Entrusted to the Highway Services Automotive Restoration Centre Ltd of Beeston in 2019, ‘OLX 486P’ was stripped to a bare shell. All rust spots were removed and new sections welded-in as necessary with some being fabricated. The bodywork was lead filled, etch primed, primed and finally repainted in its original colour. The brightwork was replaced as needed and the wheels refurbished. The 3.5 litre V8 engine was re-bored with new liners being added, the crankshaft was reground and fitted with new shells, new followers / piston rings / timing chains were installed, the cylinder heads were skimmed and had their valve stems / seals renewed. The whole engine was then reassembled with fresh gaskets and seals. The automatic gearbox was fettled, and the brakes and suspension overhauled. The interior was re-trimmed with new Blue cloth and leather and treated to a replacement soft-top. Finally, the Mercedes-Benz was given a full service and polished to a high standard. The total cost of the restoration including parts and labour was £22,500. Said to be ‘in regular use’ and to ‘drive as it should’, the 350SL is described by the vendor as being in ‘good overall’ condition. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and paperwork file.
