About this car

This is a late R107 300 SL from 1989, finished in Astral Silver (735) over Mid Red leather, a combination the dealer says is rarely seen. It comes with a matching hardtop, a black soft top, vanity sunvisors and the rear seat option, and it is right-hand drive with an automatic gearbox.

It has covered 52,000 miles and has had four previous owners. The second owner kept it for 26 years. The history file holds many old MOT certificates and bills, plus a document listing every MOT date and mileage. A recent gearbox overhaul is recorded, and the car has a fresh MOT. The interior is described as crisp, with fresh original carpets.
