Mercedes-Benz 300 SL R107

This 1988 R107 300 SL is finished in Nautic Blue (code 929), paired with a blue soft top, a matching hardtop and grey MB-Tex seats. The smooth 3.0-litre straight-six is a good fit for the car's relaxed character, and the automatic gearbox suits it.

The page quotes about 50,000 miles, which is low for an R107 of this age. The car was supplied new by Sparshatt Jones Mercedes-Benz in Dartford on 21 April 1988. The history file includes 13 service stamps in the booklet, bills from London specialists and a Bulkhead certificate, with records going back to the early 2000s.

The most recent owner bought it last year and refurbished the interior. It has new carpets, deep-cleaned seats, cleaned floor pans with new insulation and professionally restored dash and console wood. The underside was dry-ice cleaned and wax-oiled, and the dealer reports no visible rust. It comes with a full-size matching spare, a tool kit and a jack.
