1988 Mercedes-Benz R107 300 SL

Nautic Blue Metallic (929) with Grey Leather (278) and Dark Blue Fabric Soft Top (5010)

25,000 miles

There are certain colours that collectors, investors and enthusiasts gravitate to above all others. For a Mercedes-Benz R107 SL, Nautic Blue is one of those colours. Matched here with Grey Leather, the end result is a smart, regal looking classic car that wears it’s chrome with pride. There is something about the way the Nautic Blue finish is complimented by the chrome. The light interior completes the package, with the darker shades of wood giving the cabin an air of opulence and class.

Nautic Blue has always been a popular R107 shade, but this car matches a highly desirable colour combination with exceptional provenance and incredibly low mileage – the complete picture of a superb SL.

This late 1987 car (registered 1988) shows just 25,000 miles – an average of less than 850 miles per year.

The official records for this car detail it as a 4 owner vehicle, though documents on file show that it is really a two owner car.

From 1988 to 1994 this car was owned by Mr P, before ownership transferred to his wife Mrs P.

From 1994 to 2016 it was owned by Mrs P, during which time it wore a 5 digit cherished numberplate.

From 2016 to 2018 ownership was transferred to Slades Garage, a company owned by a Mr T

From 2016 to 2019 Mr T registered the car in his own name.

All of this information is documented in the file, shown by old V5 certificates and paperwork.

An unbroken service record and a superb MOT history. This car has been on the road and MOT’d religiously from new. Also present with the car is the original book pack and original PDI certificate.

Inside and out this car is in remarkable condition, still retaining that distinctive ‘SL smell’.

A highly original SL with clear ownership history now ready for a new long keeper.
