PLEASE NOTE: The estimate for this car has been lowered as there is a small leak from the cooling system that has developed that is believed to be from the radiator.

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-around 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 example of the 300SL marque, was first registered in August of 1989 and has been with the vendor since 2014. The car has had 5 previous keepers and comes with an extensive history file detailing works that have been completed including receipts for full sills. The car has been well cared for by the current owner and previous owners and there are stacks of receipts for work carried out throughout the years. The interior of the car appears to be in a fabulous original condition, and it is good to see an original radio still present. The vendor has advised us that he has not had much time to enjoy the car in recent years so, alas, has subsequently decided to move it on, however, he has advised that the car is in a ‘good’ mechanical condition. The last MOT certificate expired in March of 2022.
