⭕ VEHICLE SUMMARY

The R107 300 SL offers the perfect combination of responsive straight-six power, dependable engineering, and legendary styling.

Very few classic cars seamlessly combine iconic heritage with exceptional reliability and everyday usability. Featuring timeless, understated, yet commanding styling, the R107 SL truly came of age in the 1980s, becoming the ultimate symbol of affluent luxury. Its legendary reputation was further enhanced in 1986 with the introduction of the robust 3.0-litre straight-six M103 engine. Benefiting from years of continuous development, its inherent design prioritised safety, comfort, and robust engineering - all the virtues for which Mercedes-Benz was universally renowned.

In its later guise, the 300 SL offered comfortable handling, practical real-world fuel economy in the high twenties MPG, and true all-weather capability thanks to its factory-removable hardtop. Rather than being seen as a raw, aggressive sports car, the SL was an exercise in effortless grand touring, projecting an aura of relaxed, high-society sophistication and absolute build quality. As a practical, daily-drivable classic, the SL is arguably in a class of its own, offering an unmatched blend of vintage charm and modern dependability.

This late model 1989 300 SL is beautifully finished in Nautical Blue, perfectly complemented by a Cream Beige leather interior. Smartly presented throughout, it boasts highly desirable factory options, including heated rear seats and a matching hardtop. The car is backed by an impressive maintenance history, featuring 14 stamps in the service book from main dealers and the renowned specialist, The SL Shop with which it's also been stored by them for the last few winters.

With a modest ~88,607 miles on the clock, it was last serviced approximately 500 miles ago by the SLShop and comes with the added peace of mind of a fresh MOT valid until May 2027.
