1988 Mercedes-Benz R107 300SL with Medium Red Leather (277)
Black (040) with Medium Red Leather (277) / 300SL
Principal Facts:
Through the 18-year-long production run of the 107-series SL (and its coupe derivative, the SLC), Mercedes-Benz despatched more than 300,000 examples of the Panzerwagen. Its popularity on either side of the Atlantic wasn’t a surprise, but many buyers don’t know that the SL was available in about a hundred colours. And despite that wide variety of paints, it looks remarkably good in black — like a sharp tux. This 1989 Mercedes-Benz 300SL, backed not only by its paint but also the extremely likeable condition it’s in, epitomises that.
Scoring well in our Assured Inspection, this 1989 300SL is a late model example with 87910 miles on the odometer. That the 300SL is regarded to be one of the best iterations of the R107 SL only furthers its likability. It offers great refinement without compromising on the overall performance or tractability — something R107 owners enjoy now. This 1989 300SL is an automatic-gearbox-equipped, straight-six-engined car with a detailed history file, three previous owners, and invoices that highlight the level of work done to ensure the splendid state of both the paintwork and the cabin.

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?
