HC 2300 SL 1972 Project

[Fred Dukes]

I received an email from a recent widow who wants help to sell her late husbands 2300 SL

"The Viva was purchased from new by my mother-in-law in November 1972 and then given to my husband in 1978. He drove it until 1984 when it went into our garage where it slept very peacefully in dry storage until June 2019 when it saw the light of day for the first time in 35 years. I believe it has been in dry storage since 2019 but should be able to confirm its condition in the next few days."
The car has a 2000cc engine fitted currently but the original 2300cc engine will come with it.
The car is available for viewing in Derbyshire.
Without seeing the car in the flesh I would price it in the region of £1500 - £2000
Any interested parties please contact me if you wish to view.
The attached pictures were taken in 2019 when it was originally woken from its slumbers
