1986 Mercedes-Benz R107 500SL LHD

HISTORY.

This is a rare opportunity to own a beautiful, optioned R107 500 SL LHD Model. It was a German-registered SL up to 2005, where it was imported to the UK by a Mr R in Perthshire until 2015. It was then purchased by the current owner, where it was exported to Switzerland for a collector and stayed within his home to the present time. The SL is currently at its holiday home in Geneva, where it can be viewed and test-driven.

The specification is outstanding for an LHD R107, and being a 500 V8, it makes it so appealing for touring in the Swiss Alps or passes to to South of France. It got fully repainted around 2014 before being sold to the current owner. The front seats have been professionally retrimmed to as factory look as possible with the right perforations and leather texture.

The Black Soft Top is as new, combined with a matching Hardtop.  The Speedo was changed as it was defective at 82947 KMs, which was documented in the History. It was showing 12000 kms when purchased in 2015.  Speedo reading now shows 22754 KMS, a total of 65,000 miles only.
