Mercedes SL Class


I had occasion to visit one of our local automotive spraying companies this week and spotted this little gem in a corner.






A 1973 R107 Mercedes 450SL. It was having some rust removed and a bottom half spray.

Grant, the sprayer, told me that the owner might be interested in an offer on the car and rang him to enquire. He was prepared to accept £20,000. Rather too tasty for me. 

The old SL models are increasing in price dramatically and my 1994 R129 500SL has doubled in price in the last 3 years since I bought it.
