Mercedes 300SL SL

First registered October 1988 (F Reg) this 300 SL (R107) has been in the same family since new. Finished in Willow Green with Beige Leather this stunning example has just 63,000 miles recorded which we are advised by the previous owner is correct. Being a post 1986 car, it benefits from the galvanised body introduced in 1986. Originally introduced in 1971 the R107 Mercedes SL was a two-seat car with a detachable roof. It was the only roadster offered by Mercedes during its entire production. The 2,962 cc six-cylinder in-line engine produces around 190 bhp providing a top speed of 130 mph (where conditions allow). In 1985, Bosch KE Jetronic was fitted to this model. Accompanying this car is the Mercedes Benz Maintenance Booklet showing the car was supplied by Gerard Mann of Birmingham the Predelivery Inspection Stamp being present. Subsequently Gerard Mann serviced the car at: 1,070 miles; 2,260 miles; 4,18 miles and 6,752 miles in 1992. Further Mercedes Benz specialist garage services are stamped at: 11,450 miles 23,000 miles; 34,150 miles; 41,200 miles; 47,600 miles; 55,600 miles and 59,000 miles. This, in our opinion, is an excellent example, with a known history. These cars have appreciated nicely over the past six years. As the earlier Pagoda roofed cars have attained six figure values the R107 has filled the gap. Many R107 SL’s are still used as daily drivers attesting to their comfort and suitability to modern driving.
