Practically all Mercedes Benz models have, to one degree or another, attained 'classic' status over the years and therefore we are always pleased to offer examples of this marque. Possibly the most sought after of all the models are in the 'SL' model range and today we have here one of the most desirable of those in the form of a 300 SL which dates from 1987 and has been with one family owner car all its life .The SL range of sports cars from the Mercedes Benz stable was launched with what is now known as the 'Gullwing' and ever since then it has been one of the most desirable cars throughout the world The engineering behind the first SL, an abbreviation of Sport Leicht, was mainly the responsibility of celebrated Daimler-Benz boffin, Rudi Uhlenhaut and was developed from one of the world's most enigmatic cars, the Gullwing Merc of 1957. Discerning long-distance motorists from all over the world soon wanted an SL of their own and Daimler-Benz have been obliging them ever since. Each subsequent reincarnation has become a classic in its own right.
By the 1980s, the SL was offered with different engines, the 2962cc 6-cylinder 300SL, the 4196cc V8-powered 420SL and the 4973cc 500SL, although, as ever, with relatively few changes to their appearance and, by now, very far removed from being a sports car and much more of a very grand tourer.
