The ultimate six-cylinder derivative of Mercedes-Benz's renowned R107 series, the 300SL was introduced at the September 1985 Frankfurt Motor Show. Sharing the same two-door monocoque bodyshell, all-round independent coil-sprung suspension and power-assisted steering as its V8 brethren it proved notably more fuel efficient. Fitted with a four-speed automatic transmission as standard, it further benefited from improved anti-corrosion treatment and ABS brakes. Only in production between 1985 and 1989, just 13,443 300SLs are thought to have been despatched worldwide.

This rather handsome 300SL was delivered new by Mercedes-Benz main dealer Callanders of Glasgow to Cheshire Products Ltd on the 18^th of March 1988. It stayed with the company as a director’s vehicle for six years before passing into the hands of its second owner, a Mr Ian Jeffery, on the 25^th March 1994. Mr Jeffery clearly liked the car as he kept it for the next 24 years. The previous owner, Mr Martin Mitchell, acquired the Mercedes on the 25^th of May 2018 and enjoyed it for a relatively short stint as the 300SL was sold to the current vendor on the 18^th of April 2020. Finished in the striking colour of Nautical Blue Metallic with a contrasting Cream leather interior, this Mercedes roadster is fitted with an automatic transmission and comes with its original factory hardtop. The overall condition of this classic 300SL is very good and stamps in the Service Booklet together with the old MOTs and the invoices on file seem to support the 85,611 miles currently showing on the odometer. The current vendor has in recent times spent well over £15,000 with a reputable specialist to recommission the Mercedes and bring it up to its current lovely condition. Ready to hit the road in style for some summertime cruising, this fantastic 300SL roadster is offered with a History File containing a collection of old MOTs, recent invoices and old registration documents together with an owner’s handbook, a service booklet and a current V5.
