⭕ VEHICLE SUMMARY

This is the ultimate classic cruiser: built to comfortably cover distances while making a grand, stylish entrance.

Debuting in 1971, the R107-generation Mercedes-Benz SL was engineered as the pinnacle of luxury, safety, and grand touring versatility. Leveraging the brand's reputation for bomb-proof build quality and engineering finesse, the SL was designed as a high-end personal luxury icon, with a particular focus on the American market.

Its elegant design offers dual-purpose versatility thanks to the inclusion of both a soft-top and a hard-top. Benefitting from eighteen years of continuous refinement, the post-1985 SLs retained the classic elegance of the original while integrating contemporary advancements such as ABS, galvanized bodywork, advanced fuel injection, and improved passive safety. This blend of robust engineering and understated style created an iconic piece of Mercedes-Benz history - one whose prestigious original ownership continues to reinforce the car's ironclad reputation today.

This smartly presented automatic 1986 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL is finished in Metallic Diamond Blue with a bespoke two-tone leather interior trim, comes with £2,000 worth of recent suspension renewal and comes with its original hard top. It has a good service record, service booklet, a selection of handbooks and has two keys. Sold with an MOT to June 2026, it will be eligible for road tax and MOT exemption in August 2026.
