⭕ VEHICLE SUMMARY

Sit back, relax and enjoy cruising in luxury just like you were back in 1988.

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. Benefiting from eighteen years of continuous refinement, the post-1985 SLs retained the classic elegance of the original while integrating contemporary advancements such as ABS, galvanised 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.

Coming to market after just over a year with our vendor, this beautifully presented 1988 300 SL is finished in the desirable 'Ascot Grey', has a blue fabric roof and leather interior, it also comes with a hardtop, and, with just ~65,413 miles covered and a current MOT valid until 21.05.2027, it’s ready to jump in and enjoy.
