Terrijn Classics
Health Check

Our Terrijn Classics Health Check has been developed for owners of a Mercedes-Benz R107 SL or C107 SLC who wish to drive their cars without worrying about breakdowns and technical issues, all while enjoying the ride quality and comfort that Mercedes-Benz had in mind when creating these luxury vehicles in the 1970s and 1980s.

Health Check

Why?

The 107 model was built between 1971 and 1989, making it 30 to 50 years old today. Because they belonged to the top class of what the market had to offer at the time, they are technically very advanced with many different systems and components. This is what makes these cars so enjoyable and comfortable to drive. The flip side is that over the years, they have often accumulated neglected maintenance and unnoticed issues. The Terrijn Classics Health Check has been specifically developed to identify and address these problems.

What does a Health Check involve?

A Health Check is a thorough evaluation to assess the overall health and performance of your car. We begin with a comprehensive inspection on the lift. Afterward, we examine the vital aspects of your vehicle on the ground and take it for a test drive. These inspections are intended to identify potential issues and wear and tear early on. Depending on your needs and the selected Health Check package (see below), we can also pay attention to non-essential systems and optional components. For our inspections, we use a carefully developed checklist consisting of 291, 368, or 436 checkpoints, ranging from technical parts to the condition of the upholstery and paintwork. Based on the performed checks and your goals for the vehicle, we provide a customized cost estimate. This cost estimate is divided into three categories: essential, expected, and optional. This way, you get a very clear picture of which repairs require your immediate attention and can make informed investments.

What benefit do I gain from a Health Check?

In our workshop, we frequently encounter a similar situation. A new customer approaches us after purchasing an R107 or C107 model. Sometimes, such a vehicle has a very solid foundation, while at other times, it requires extensive work. Almost always, these cars require urgent or significant repairs that buyers had not anticipated. In the best-case scenario, these individuals turn to us right away, allowing us to set them on the right path with a Health Check towards a sound vehicle. This way, new owners have an idea of the repair work they can expect, both in the present and in the coming years. It also happens that these individuals do not immediately seek our assistance, leading them to invest in the wrong areas. An example of this is allocating their repair budget to installing a more attractive soft-top, while an essential injection problem requires attention.

Thanks to this way of working, we’ve also saved customers from investing in the completely wrong vehicle. It’s not uncommon for people to purchase a car at a very low price, thinking they can’t go wrong. Sometimes, such a vehicle is in such poor condition that we advise customers in this situation to consider buying a different car. Subsequently, they can invest in a vehicle that has a solid foundation, allowing them to get a better car for less money.

Thanks to this approach, we have also prevented customers from making ill-advised investments in entirely the wrong vehicle. It is common for people to purchase a car at a very low price, thinking they cannot go wrong.
