Introduction
Glyn Parry
After nearly four decades of being on the road this beautiful SL is just as good today as it was during the 80s.
Classic Mercedes-Benz production stands a real test of time. Widely thought as being "over engineered" in its prime, it's a real testament to Mercedes that these cars still work well and still represent great value for money considering the craftsmanship involved manufacture. It's easy to see why these models were such a long standard production for the company going on to become the second longest single series ever produced by Mercedes.
This sharp looking stylish icon is ready to use all year round with a choice of soft top and hard top options complete with the car, and the sought after rear seats with fold down parcel shelf option. It presents in very good condition, coming to market from short term ownership but with just 5 former keepers registered before. Finished in "Champagne" (473), with a tan leather interior, this classic is very much ready to go.
This auction listing was written from information supplied by Glyn after meeting Charlie the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

Hi Charlie,
One of the pictures appears to show a bit of rust on the offside front wheel arch. How extensive is this? Is it affecting the call below it?
Are there any other area where rust is showing on the bodywork??
Thanks
Anton

Hello Barry
Please refer to the exterior video and photos to see the roof. I think they cover it well. The visibility is very good in my own opinion out the rear window. The roof is not been replaced in my opinion and has all original Mercedes polyglass in it so has not been replaced. Remarkable condition roof for the age compared to others I viewed. But please refer to the pictures and videos to make your own decision.
Also on the other issue the car has been a summer car for around last two decades and has been shied away from bad or wet weather. So should of helped it not suffer from the usual issues when these are constantly being used in all weathers. In my ownership it was only driven on bone dry days. I would not even take it out if there was puddles on the road.
It is a good example for what its worth and will continue to rise for years to come. The fact it has so much original documentation such as the pre delivery check sheet shows its been cared for by passionate owners. The guy before me and the one before that all again kept it for dry days only.
Hello Charlie
Many thanks
Barry
