• A late example of the iconic R107

Coming from a deceased estate, this late model 300 SL was first registered on 4 August 1989 and hails from the final year of production. It has remained in the same long-term family ownership since 1992. In 2002 a recorded keeper change within the family resulted in 3 former keepers appearing on the Swansea V5C. Finished in white with blue interior and blue hood, the car is supplied with a history file which includes numerous invoices and receipts, a Swansea V5C document and current MoT to April 2026. Appearing to be a very well-maintained and much loved example, it has covered c.99,250 miles from new.

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.

Launched in 1985, the 300SL was the ultimate incarnation of the updated R107 and was available for only four years, with a mere c.13,443 built globally, making them a rarity in right-hand drive. Powered by a 2,962cc straight-six engine producing 185bhp at 5,700rpm and 188lb/ft of torque at 4,400rpm, it was sufficient output to endow this open-topped Mercedes-Benz with rapid acceleration and a published top speed of 130mph. 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.
