MERCEDES R107 RUST PROTECTION
Panzerwagen. 107. R107. W107. C107. Dallas Car. Bobby Ewing’s Car. Just a few of the nicknames given to the second most produced Mercedes-Benz of all time. Its fame is not unjustified even today. This is a vehicle that transcends generations, cultures, genders and more. It’s reliability, slick styling and modern conveniences make it just as much a classic car as a daily driver even today.
To keep this celebrity alive for another 50 years, keeping on top of rust protection is essential.
The R107 is not without its ailments, notably the Bulkhead, chassis legs and sills. But largely, the R107 is exceptionally sturdy; even more so with rust protection topped up every so often…
”No better place to take your SL. Incomparable level of service, knowledge and understanding on R107s and well worth my 100 mile round trip to get my car seen by the experts. And special thanks to Mark for his specific support and communication on my car.”

WHY SHOULD I APPLY RUST PROTECTION
