The Valve stem kit was fitted at the Mercedes Specialist the SL Shop because of signs of blue smoke. The Valves were renewed and it still smokes a bit, We think it is the piston rings now we have counted out the valve stems.

The car has had a small fortune spent on it in the last few years and all the niggly bits have been sorted.\n\nThese R107 SL’s are increasing in value and i would definitely see this to continue in the future. It would make an excellent investment for someone. This is the very rare colour, not many left on the road now.\n\nProfessional classic car Valuation from 2003 for £8,000 with certificate, which we estimate now to be worth in the region of £12-14k with the piston rings replaced.\n\nIf you are looking for a nice classic roadster, look no further, these Mercedes are very reliable and feel very modern with its light power steering, a pleasure to drive\n\nOffers invited, This is a very clean car with only a couple of minor scratches.
