However, Griff knows that things aren’t always plain sailing when it comes to protecting his Mercedes SL R107 and that’s why he’s opted for a Warrantywise Car Warranty, so he can protect his car from unexpected and costly repairs from day one!

Here’s what Griff has to say about his Classic Car Warranty with Warrantywise…

I bought the Merc at the ‘Garage on the Green’ way back. It is one of the last SLRs of that design and not really a fabulously expensive classic, but it is a wonderful car to take out to open fetes, or just cruise about when the weather is good. So, it lives a lot of the time in a barn, waiting for those glorious moments.

When I bought it, I had just done an advert for a chocolate bar and the money was burning a hole in my pocket. The car dealer told me that Mercedes are ‘built to last’ and I found that he was right. But I know from restoring old boats and old tractors, and even from being an old person, that everything eventually wears down!

I know there will come a moment where unexpectedly this big beast will strand me on that lay-by on the A12, and I will need help. Warrantywise will give me peace of mind. The Merc can slumber in the garage and I can slumber in my bed. I can wait a few more years until these cars become the rare and unattainable classics they undoubtedly should be, if they hadn't been built so bloody well.
