1985 Mercedes-Benz 500 SL. Only 59,000 Miles From New. Family Owned For 33 Years

Description

1985 Mercedes Benz 500 SL Automatic. (R107). Astral Silver with Grey Sports Check upholstery, new black soft top and factory hardtop. The Mercedes R107-series SL was launched in 1971 to replace the long-lived W113 'Pagoda' SL that first appeared in 1963. Though dispensing with Mercedes' usual model identification, it was based on the suspension of the W114 Saloon and ran until 1989 with more than 237, 000 examples built, being the longest single series ever produced by Mercedes-Benz except for the G-Wagen. The Bruno Sacco-designed car was bigger, heavier and softer-riding than its predecessor, but can still handle and won the plaudits from distinguished motoring writers including LJK Setright. The 245bhp 500 SL made from 1980 had an all-alloy fuel-injected V8 and was made for Europe only and with 60mph available in 7. 4 secs the top speed was 140mph, faster even than the US, Japan and Australian 560 SL. Plenty of R107s come to market, but 500SLs are still a rarity, with only 11, 812 built. This fabulous R107 has covered just 59,000 miles from new and has been with its last keeper for the last 7 years, he purchased the cart from his uncle who bought the SL in August 1992 so it has effectively been in the same family for the last 33 years. The condition speaks for itself and the car has been cherished from new with just 4 owners in 40 years. The paintwork and upholstery belie their age and present beautifully with clean lines and very straight panels. On the road the car is equally as good with very responsive V8 engine mated to a smooth automatic gearbox that would happily travel around Europe on any road trip if required. Accompanying the 500SL is a sizeable history file containing lots of bills and invoices as well many old MoT test certificates which confirm the low mileage. This is an SL that could easily fit within any collection or equally be enjoyed on the show field or international touring. The Cherished Registration Number 324 BPH will remain on the car and very valuable in its own right. This is an great example of the 5-litre R107 with just 59,000 miles from new and a low ownership. We invite and encourage your inspection of this classic Mercedes. Although now tax and MoT exempt a fresh test will be applied upon sale for your own peace of mind. Absolutely any inspection welcome. All major debit and credit cards accepted. Part exchange considered. Free U.K mainland delivery. Please contact us for any further information. Lots more pictures and a video on our website and Facebook pages.
