The Appeal
Hollywood was quick to realise what buyers already knew: giving a character a R107 immediately conveyed class and quality. The car's imperious, timeless solidity explains its enduring appeal. Modern classic car buyers relish its comfort, relaxing style and sheer usability.
This 1988 300SL reflects all those qualities. Fitted with the popular 3litre straight six and finished in stand-out Signal Red with a beige leather interior, it is in very good condition. Under the bonnet is the original engine, which was rebuilt during lockdown at a cost of £20,000.
It is fitted with optional factory rear seat and supplied with its Mercedes-Benz hard top. The full service history dates back to the car's first registration. Described by the seller as in superb condition with a driving experience to match, this is an eye-catching 2+2 that is ready for summer.
