Introduction
Darren Rungasamy
A timeless triumph of engineering and style, the SL represents the golden era of Mercedes.
Since the final one rolled off the production line in 1989, there has been a consistent demand for the R107 Mercedes SL thanks to its many endearing qualities. Engineered to a high standard, the SL was allowed to mature with considerable improvements over its 18-year production run. These qualities - designed to appeal to people who value their sturdy build, safety, cruising ability, and comfort - continue to make them popular among people who want the feel of an iconic automobile with potential for daily use.
The hard top option made the car a coupe, giving it the best of both worlds. This made it unique in the market when it was originally produced when its main consumers were looking for driving refinement. With features such as ABS and crumple zones built into its solid structure, the SL not only influenced the modern open-top sports car but also became a symbol of safety with style.
This is a stunning example of the revamped 300 SL, benefitting from a galvanised body, new engine, improved suspension, lower profile tyres and a front chin spoiler. Coming to market after nine years with our vendor, over two spells, it is finished in an attractive Metallic Thistle Green finish, it comes with its original hardtop, stand and aftermarket hoist. Furnished with an almost unblemished beige cloth interior, this automatic example also comes with an impressive history of servicing and maintenance.
Sold with two keys and its original emergency key, full owner's wallet, data card and an MOT to March 2025 - so if you're serious about a 300 SL, then it really does deserve a closer look.
