Where could we sell our 1984 Mercedes-Benz SL?
I have an elderly relative who has a 1984 Mercedes-Benz SL, with a mileage of about 48,000 with hardtop available. It has been off the road for four years and of course would cost at least £1500 to get it back on the road. She cannot cope with all the hassle that entails, so I have suggested we find a person who would be interested to purchase straight from the garage. What if anything could you suggest?

That will be an R107, and they were particularly rust-prone. I think the only sensible way out is a classic car auction such as by www.historics.co.uk or www.barons-auctions.com.
Update: As it was, GS had an offer of £6000 from a relative, which he happily accepted.
