The vendor has provided the following:

• The car was purchased through Mathewson’s in June 2021, and it was featured in UKTV's Bangers and Cash - Series 7 episode 9
• I did a 'Bangers and Cash - Restoring Classic Cars' on it, doing a no-expense-spared renovation and spending in excess of £28,000!
• Since purchasing it has gone through a thorough recommissioning and restoration by marque specialists, the SLShop, and the 'Classic Car Workshop', in Dalton on Tees (used by the 'Bangers and Cash’ team)

The car has:

• A new bulkhead (guaranteed and certified)
• Chassis restoration
• Bodywork with some paint
• Some interior trim
• New soft-top
• A thorough engine service (including timing chain check)
• This includes the rare, factory-fit aircon

Derek's Comments:

• Pristine in light green metallic with virtually as-new beige velour upholstery
• The extensive history file includes the original handbook, detailed receipts for maintenance and improvements carried out by specialists, and the SL shop Stratfor-Upon-Avon
• An early V5 and MOT history is also included
• The service booklet shows it being supplied by Alan Dat Ltd to Stevenage Machine Tools of Arlesley, a company known to us
• The booklet shows 10 stamps confirming maintenance carried out by either the Main dealer or specialist repairs
• The vehicle is known to us following the vendor's purchase in 2021
• We deal with a large number of 107 model Sl's, but rarely do we offer an example in this condition
• This beautifully presented example has been the pride and joy of its enthusiastic vendor during his ownership
• In his words, "Time now to move on", one for the discerning collector!
