EVERY SINGLE NUT AND BOLT HAS BEEN REMOVED THE ENGINE HAS BEEN STRIPPED AND DETAILED ALL BRIGHWORK REFURBISHED INTERIOR FULLY RE TRIMMED IN CREAM LEATHER NEW CREAM CARPETS THIS IS A CONCOURSE EXAMPLE AND WITHOUT DOUBT ONE OF THE BEST THERE IS LITERALLY A NEW CAR AND A VERY RARE RHD EXAMPLE EXAMPLES ARE CHANGING HANDS RESTORED AT UPWARDS OF £225000 THIS IS FAIRLY PRICED IN THE MARKET PLACE AND OFFERS BASED ON CONDITION WILL BE INVITED OUR MD BY OWN ADMISSION HAS PAID OUT TOO MUCH BUT WANTED THE BEST AND THIS IS THE BEST ...

OUR MASTER TEAM OF HIGHLY QUALIFIED AND EXPERIENCED RENOVATION SPECIALISTS HAVE YEARS OF EXPERIENCE AND OUR STANDARDS ARE SUCH

EVERYTHING IS HAS BEEN RENEWED OR REPLACED AND THIS IS A TOTALLY CONCOURSE EXAMPLE IN EVERY WAY  .

THERE ARE NOT MANY RIGHT HAND DRIVE GENUINE UK SUPPLIED 190SL MODELS ON THE MARKET OR INDEED LEFT !!

THIS 190 SL AS WAS MADE A GOOD DAILY DRIVER HAVING BEEN RESTORED TO A HIGH STANDARD C 20 YEARS AGO

VEHICLE HAS BEEN WITH THE LAST OWNER A LADY FROM NORWICH SINCE 2004 .

THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD IT FROM 2001 .

BACK IN C 1992 THE CAR UNDERWENT A FULL RESTORATION AND AT THIS POINT THE COLOUR WAS CHANGED FROM ITS ORIGINAL METALLIC GREY TO A VERY LIGHT METALLIC GREEN .

INDEED IT LOOKED VERY WELL IN ITS GREEN HOWEVER AS THAT IS NOT THE ORIGINAL COLOUR

THE VEHICLE ITSELF MECHANICALLY IS IN FANTASTIC ORDER AND DRIVES VERY WELL AND IS A CREDIT TO ITS FORMER KEEPER WHO HAS CLEARLY CARED FOR IT .

IT HAD IN 2016 A FULL ENGINE REBUILD BY A MERCEDES SPECIALIST TOTALLING £5787. 32 OVER 2 BILLS .

THERE ARE A HUGE STACK OF INVOICES GOING BACK MANY MANY YEARS AND WE HAVE A LARGE NUMBER OF MOTS GOING BACK TO THE EARLY 1970s SHOWING A MILEAGE OF C 63000 MILES THE EVIDENCE SUGGESTS THIS IS A GENUINE MILEAGE VEHICLE WITH A HUGE HISTORY FILE TO SUPPORT .

WE SEE MANY LEFT HAND DRIVE RESTORED 190 MODELS WITH NO PAPERWORK OR HISTORY HOWEVER VERY RARELY DO GENUINE UK VEHICLES SUCH AS THIS WITH A LOW MILEAGE AND SUPPORTING PAPERWORK HIT THE MARKET AND WITH US RESTORING THIS TO A VERY HIGH STANDARD IT WILL SIT VERY NICELY IN THE COLLECTORS STABLE OF CLASSICS TO ENJOY AND SEE THE GROWTH IN VALUE .
