1988 Mercedes-Benz R107 300SL with Grey Leather (278)
Blue Black Metallic (199) with Grey Leather (278) / 300SL
Principal Facts:
Delivered new in May 1988 in London to its first owner this right-hand drive UK 300SL has had three subsequent owners and covered just 34,106 since it was registered. Finished in Blue Black Metallic paint with a light grey interior, its circa 1,000 miles average annual use means this car looks and drives like an example that feels like it’s three and a half years old, rather than its actual three and a half decades.
It left its second owner and London in 1996 to spend a decade with its third owner Sheffield, before heading to Aberdeen, Scotland, from 2007. In that time all four owners have exhibited the same attention to detail for its upkeep, with the original service book fully stamped and accompanied by ample documentation outlining its fastidious servicing and maintenance by German marque specialists at its respective locations.
As such E844 FNJ comes with all but a couple of its MOT certificates, all of which underline the wonderful condition and maintenance of this car, these accompanied by a number of tax discs and receipts for the once necessary tracking devices (since removed). Supplied new with electric mirrors and windows, city drive lights, paint coat protection and a black canvas folding roof, along with its hardtop, this 300SL is a fine example of this increasingly appreciated, and enjoyable six-cylinder model.

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?
