Hi all. I own a '91 plate Sl500 and have done for the last 15 years. It started as my main car but for the last 5 years has just been a summer car SORNed for the winter and covered. In this time the inevitable corrosion and moisture have taken their toll and each year it costs more and more to get on the road.
My dilemma is this.....When working it is a great car and a thing of beauty. If the roof etc worked it would be worth 5k plus but that and a number of things don't and if it was in the garage and I could pay out once and then it would be ok for a few years I would keep it but as it is outside in the winter each year it costs a lot to fix....... therefore what can I do?
There is intrinsic value in a lot of the car so where would you sell it as such i.e. Mot for a couple of months but with a lot of bits not working?
Your thoughts are greatly appreciated.
