We bought this Mercedes R107 230 SLK from 1999 for our own use. When purchased, the car had a leaking head gasket that would be repaired under warranty. The interior was bad. This type of Mercedes is built on a Crysler platform, which has not benefited the quality of the interior parts in particular. We renovated the interior, replaced the wishbones, brake discs and pads. We also repainted the brake calipers and rims so that everything looks fresh again. We then overhauled all the hydraulic cylinders of the roof and placed Viton seals. In the end, the new head gasket, which was replaced under warranty, failed again after the warranty period. After a thorough inspection of the engine, it was decided to install a replacement engine.
