Further info:
While even Mercedes-Benz quality has faltered occasionally over the years, the durability of its third SL model, the R107 Series, has long since been beyond doubt. Its production run spanned 19 years, during which 237,287 SLs and 62,888 SLCs were manufactured; a very high percentage of which are still providing sterling service. The 300 SL replaced the 280 in 1985 and was powered by a SOHC 2962cc straight-six engine. The variant's lighter weight provided a handling advantage over its bulkier V8 siblings, and its output of 185bhp endowed the handsome Roadster with rapid acceleration and an adequate top speed of 130mph. This 1986 example is finished in an attractive shade of Blue with matching interior trim. It was the subject of an £11,371 restoration and repaint by the SL Shop in 2011. Just fitted with a new battery, it comes complete with hard and soft tops, plus a large collection of invoices / old MOTs.
