Principal Facts:
1987 Mercedes-Benz 300SL (R107)
Midnight Blue (902) with Blue Leather (252) and Blue Fabric Soft Top (5010)
This car boasts very low mileage of just 42,941.
An SL in a dark blue or black colour with luxurious leather interior will always be in demand, but the additional options enjoyed by this car make it truly a special find.
Leather, Orthopaedic Front Seats and Air Conditioning were expensive optional extras in 1987. This car would have left the factory at almost £45,000, or around £117,000 in today’s money.
Also present in the original book pack is the 1987 Mercedes-Benz Price List, showing the factory fitted options for the 300SL. There are pencil marks against the Airbag, Air Conditioning, Heated Front Seats, Leather Seating, Radio Equipment, Leather Seats, Rear Seats, Theft Warning Device and Twin Illuminated Vanity Mirrors…
Although pencil marks in a price list weren’t converted into ink on an order form, as heated seats, air bag and rear seating never made it onto the car. We can only wonder the reasons why!
Coming from long term ownership, this car has been with the current vendor since 2013.
Significant work took place in 2011, detailed in a plastic folder with paperwork dating back to the 1990s. The work was completed to a high standard, with the car presenting superbly. Inside the interior is all new, retrimmed to exacting standards to give the car an ‘as new’ feel.
This lovely SL is accompanied by the original Mercedes-Benz plastic book pack, containing the original sales guides, manuals and service book.
The service book shows a Pre Delivery Inspection stamp on the 13th April 1987, with services at 797 miles, 5,391 miles, 12,995 miles, , 18,022 miles, 23,878 miles, 29,968 miles, 36,760 miles, 40,03 miles, 42,398 miles and 42,696 miles.
A car that has been known to SLSHOP for some time, that starts and drives just as it did back in 1987, with the added bonus of recent work and all new interior trim.
A fine looking car that’s ready to be enjoyed.

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?
