hi

auction/£4k BIN for a 1986 SL500 R107. This seems a good price for what is one of the later models. Surprised no ones has Bought It Now. it needs work but will be worth lots more once done.

He says its been standing for a while.....hope it hasn't been standing on that grass patch where the pics have been taken as that certainly won't do it much good as far as underside rust is concerned

I dont think it has been left parked up on that bit of grass, from what I can see the grass does not seem dead under the car.

212,000 miles which also explains the low price.....also if you check out the last photo with the soft top cover lifted and then check out the rust around the rim of the metal cover.

yeah its very high mileage.... didnt notice the rust on the metal cover. i bet the sills and usual places are rotted aswell. £4k isnt too bad though if you can tackle these things yourself.

I guess it's cheap against the price of a good one, but with 212k miles on the clock would it ever really be worth all that much more? You could end up with a money pit, spending lots of time/money on it and then not really see much of a return if you come to sell.

Might be cheaper in the long run to buy a good example and just keep on top of it

Obviously if you like the DIY/project aspect, or see it differently fair enough - only IMHO
