This beautiful and rare Black 300SL comes from long term ownership, purchased in 1991 when it was just five years old by none other than the then director of Argos. Much as we’d like to make a joke about filling in a small order card with a blue pencil and taking it to a cashier, the car was actually bought at Hughes of Beaconsfield. This Mercedes-Benz dealership then cared for the car for 10 years, between 1991 and 2001.
Present in the history file is documents which detail the transaction between Hughes of Beaconsfield and Mr R of Argos, including a magazine cutting which highlights some of the Hughes of Beaconsfield inventory with this and one other SL circled, presumably by Mr R prior to the purchase. The car was first registered in Mr R’s name, but only from 24th May 1991 until 8th July 1991. The registered keeper was then changed to Mrs R, with whom it would stay for some 20 years.
Prior to arriving at SLSHOP this car has undergone significant preparation, including a refresh of that delicious black paintwork. It now presents as a ready to use, on the button car in a rare and desirable colour combination and with an interesting and comprehensive history.
Another black SL, one of only a handful of 300SLs we have seen in this colour. Not to be missed.

INDUSTRY TRUSTED
I have followed SLSHOP with interest for some years now and recently took the plunge and purchased my dream car – they did not disappoint!
The whole experience from start to finish was superb. Their communication was excellent and they kept me
informed every step of the way. Thank you and I look forward to my next purchase!
I have just purchased a 280SL from SLSHOP. I have already purchased several parts from SLSHOP and have found all members of staff most helpful and it is more like dealing with a club than a commercial enterprise I would highly recommend using SLSHOP for cars, parts and most importantly impartial advice.
They put up with my indecision, inexperience and last minute demands and my car is the best thing I’ve ever bought. The most impressive thing about them is the after care though. Nothing is ever too much trouble and they’ve given me the best advice to make sure I get the most out of my car. Can you tell I’m obsessed with them all?
