⭕ VEHICLE SUMMARY

A beautifully maintained late-model R107, this 1987 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL has remained within the same family for almost all of its life.

The R107 SL was produced from 1971 until 1989, making it one of Mercedes-Benz’s longest-running model series. The range was extensively modernised in 1985, introducing revised styling, improved front suspension, and a new selection of engines.

The 300SL formed part of this final generation and was powered by Mercedes-Benz’s smooth 3.0-litre straight-six engine. Combining elegant roadster styling with refined performance and excellent long-distance comfort, it remains one of the most usable and desirable versions of the R107.

Peter purchased this example from his father-in-law in 2001, although the car is understood to have remained within the family for almost all of its life. It has been serviced annually, carefully maintained, and benefited from restoration work in 2014.
