Late-production 1986 R107 300 SL, with an extensive service history, accompanied by its matching factory hardtop, original stamped service book, significant recent recommissioning by Mercedes-Benz specialists and eligible for Historic Vehicle status from 1st January (Tax & MOT exempt & ULEZ compliant). Presented here is a particularly handsome 300 SL example finished in elegant Diamond Blue Metallic, complemented by a beautifully reupholstered Navy Blue leather interior with contrasting Tiffany Blue inserts and a new blue mohair softtop. The cabin has been sympathetically refreshed whilst retaining the character expected of a cherished R107, creating an interior that feels both period-correct and exceptionally well presented. The emphasis has always been on sympathetic recommissioning rather than restoration, preserving originality wherever possible whilst investing in the mechanical integrity expected of a car intended to be driven and enjoyed. Displaying a documented 104,096 miles, averaging approximately 2,500 miles per annum, this 300SL benefits from an extensive service history, matching factory hardtop and both original keys. First registered in August 1986, it will be eligible to qualify for Historic Vehicle status from January 2027, making it tax-exempt from Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) and routine MOT testing, as well as ULEZ compliant! The car recently passed its final MOT with no advisories, providing additional reassurance regarding its condition. Approximately £2,000 was invested in suspension refurbishment on 12/08/2024, with invoices supporting the work completed. Further preventative recommissioning by an independent Mercedes-Benz specialist included a comprehensive service at 103,971 miles, invoiced on 07/07/2026, together with replacement front subframe bushes, front anti-roll bar bushes, rear suspension link rods, rear wheel bearing, gear selector bushes, replacement ABS control unit, auxiliary drive belt and brake fluid change, plus inspection of the engine, transmission and associated mechanical systems, with an accompanying invoice for £2,446. Cosmetically, the car has also benefited from careful attention. A recently fitted mohair canvas hood in original matching blue, new chrome B-pillar caps, bespoke navy velour R107 floor mats, and replacement front fog lamps (all supplied by The SL Shop). Friedrich Geiger's R107 "Der Panzerwagen (The Tank)" remains one of automotive history's most iconic and collectable designs.
