This car was restored by us to customer specifications that included a complete strip down on the rotisserie, new panels and metal work where required, full rebuild of all running gear, new/refurbished interior, new hood, rebuilt hard top, new seals, new bumpers etc and a high quality respray in an original Mercedes-Benz white from the Pagoda era (code 050), tastefully finished off with a wood-rimmed Moto-Lita steering wheel. The important bits have all been done properly (sills, floor pans, bulkhead etc). The result is stunning and she is incredible to drive and will keep up with modern traffic no problem with the gears changing smoothly and the strong V8 pulling her along in style. A photographic record has been kept and there is a photobook to accompany the car, which shows the original condition and the strip down and rebuild. This must be one of the finest R107s in the UK.
