Bullet-proof reliability, bahn-storming performance and breath-taking good looks? If any car can be called an instant classic, then this is surely it.

Produced from 1971 to 1989, the Mercedes-Benz R107 SL series was a massive hit when new and continues to be highly sought after to this day.

Made in the days when Mercedes still deserved its reputation for outstanding build quality, this particular car wears its 34 years and 47,600 miles very lightly and looks as though it will outlast all of us! Presented in the best combination of red coachwork and light tan leather interior, it comes complete with its original factory hard-top (which has recenlty been repainted) and fold-away soft top.

3500 AD has been owned by the vendor for 23 years and has had only light use in that time. In fact, the recorded mileage is only 47,597 miles, which, although it cannot be verified, is believed to be an accurate figure and is certainly supported by the condition of the car. 

The car has an MOT to September 2019. The car is offered for sale as the elderly owner finds she is using it less and less and would like to see it being used rather than stored.
