The car has been started religiously once a week & often taken for a road run (50kms) once a month to ensure maintained drivability & ensure that the seals have been maintained. It's perfectly drivable with no seals "hardening" or leaks of any sorts. The oil has been changed every 6mths (with filter) -- Rbconnect. Hi I'm new to this forum and have a question about a car I know of.... its a 1988 VL Turbo [ORIGINAL] with 39,000kms [GENUINE]. Its completely untouched with original spark plug leads & factory tires. Its been garaged for near 12yrs +. What sort of prices would such a car bring? Its my grandfathers car & he has recently passed on. It has A/c & PwrSteering std, with many spares he accumlated over the years. If anyone has a similar or knows what these cars are selling for could you please write back. Thanks.

I would pay that if it is as clean as it should be with those k's. If it is the right colour and manual too, who knows.... Anyway, rbconnect, hope you have checked your PM's! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Will be a shame if this car gets molested, it must be one of the only original SL's left.

but it's not a bt1? The car itself would be worth easily over 10k to the right buyer, trouble would be finding the right buyer... there's not a massive market Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
