SUMMARY
On offer from the Stoneacre Collection, a V8-engined R107 SL380 in 'barn find' condition without No Reserve.
DESCRIPTION
In recent years this car has formed part of an extensive collection of motor vehicles. As such it has received little or no attention and is in a condition that could fairly be described as 'barn find.' It will undoubtedly require an element of recommissioning before it could be expected to return to the road. Inspection of the vehicle and its history file are therefore highly recommended prior to the sale to establish what is or may be required and to inspect any relevant paperwork or history file.
- Powered by the 3.8-litre M116 SOHC V8 producing, when new, 215bhp and 224lb/ft through a 4-speed automatic gearbox and torque converter
- Finished in Arctic White, the car has been poorly stored and will need fresh paint. Matching hardtop
- The Navy Blue MB-Tex interior would benefit from work to the seats and new carpets
- There is evidence of rust in the usual areas, wheel arches, bulkhead etc. That said, it appears to be a realistic prospect for restoration
- Believed to have been running and driving within the last five years
