About This Car
1988 Mercedes-Benz 300SL (R107)
Diamond Blue (355) with Royal Blue Leather (272) and Dark Blue Fabric Soft Top (5010) and Diamond Blue (355) Hard Top
102,000 miles
Diamond Blue suits the R107 SL admirably, a subtle colour that lets the chrome and brightwork really shine. A metallic hue, it was an expensive optional extra back in 1987, and it’s not the only option that this high specification car enjoys. It would appear that this car was equipped rather like the 500SL at the time, enjoying some of the options that it’s V8 engined big brother had as standard. With Leather Seats, Seat Heating for the Front Seats, Rear Seats, Cruise Control, Air Conditioning, Headlamp Wash / Wipe and a Fire Extinguisher, this would have been one extremely expensive car back in 1988.
A comprehensive service file is accompanied with this car, detailing improvement works which have taken place over the last 6 years. All service stamps until 2001 are official Mercedes-Benz, with Croyde Motors (Devon) taking care of the car from 2004 to 2007. The most recent stamp at 99,000 miles is SLSHOP.

Where will your Mercedes-Benz take you?
Bulkhead Corrosion
Although the R107 is renowned for build quality, there is one chink in the armour – the bulkhead. Many cars that present well from the outside are hiding internal rust. Water from outside the car should drain out through specially designed channels, but over time, these become blocked forcing water inside the car. Once water has breached the blower motor cover in front of the windscreen, it slowly wreaks havoc from inside out. This delicate area did not have rust protection from the factory, and as the metal deteriorates it the water ingress can lead to faulty electrics, damp carpets and musty smells inside the cabin.
All our cars come with a 36 month bulkhead warranty.
