The Mercedes-Benz R107 and C107 were produced by Mercedes-Benz from 1971 until 1989, being the second longest single series ever produced by the automaker after the G-Class. They were badged accordingly, indicating the displacement of the engines. The R107/SL was a two-seat convertible with a detachable roof. It replaced the W113 SL-Class in 1971 and was replaced by the R129 SL-Class in 1989.

The ultimate six-cylinder derivative of Mercedes-Benz's renowned R107-series, the 300SL was introduced at the September 1985 Frankfurt Motor Show. Equipped with Bosch KE-Jetronic fuel-injection, its in-line SOHC M103 2962cc engine developed some 177bhp and 188lbft of torque (outputs sufficient for a reputed 125mph top speed). 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 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 making them a rarity in right-hand drive. When fitted, a matching hardtop helped ensure the occupants kept warm and snug on winter days, making the SL a comfortable proposition as an all season daily driver.

Described by the vendor as “excellent” in every aspect, it is offered for sale with a history file, original Owner's bookpack, Swansea V5C showing just 2 former keepers and a current MOT to March 2027.
