Wanted: Post-1980 Mercedes 500 SL (R107)

October 2026 Kent

Looking for a cherished keeper sought for continental touring

Hello everyone,
I am looking to purchase a well-sorted, post-1985 facelift 500 SL to join my garage as a long-term weekend treasure. My goal for early next year is to take her on a scenic grand tour through the Swiss Alps down to Italy, so mechanical health and structural integrity are my absolute priorities really but happy to consider a little mechanical work if required.

In Summary:
Model: Ideally a post-1985 facelift 500 SL (with the revised suspension, brakes, and 15" wheels)-or maybe just pre facelift.
condition: A structurally sound car with a verified, rust-free bulkhead/scuttle and solid floors. Mechanically sound.
History: A comprehensive folder of service history and proof of maintenance by specialists or careful owners.
Aesthetics: I am open to colours, but a well-presented interior (ideally leather) and a factory hardtop.

I am a genuine, private enthusiast and club member, funds are fully available to move quickly for the right car it will be dry-stored, well maintained, and cared for.

If you are considering parting with your 500 SL and want the peace of mind that it is going to a good home please send me a message with a few details, photos, and your target price.

Thank you for your time,

Paul Harding
