Principal Facts:
1989 Mercedes-Benz 300SL (R107)
Blue Black Metallic (199) with Grey Leather (278) and Black Fabric Soft Top (9001)
14,331 miles
An incredibly rare car. Finding a black R107 is becoming harder to do, so to find a 300SL with less than 15,000 miles on the clock makes this a rather special example.
Blue Black Metallic is a beautiful colour, more grey than a gloss black with the metallic giving it an extra layer of shine. It’s a softer and more forgiving colour than a pure black shade.
The exterior coachwork is ideally suited to the attractive grey leather interior. Not only did the first owner equip this car with factory rear seats, but they also opted for metallic paint with paint preservation. These were expensive optional extras back in 1989.
Purchased new by the owner of Jacksons Mercedes-Benz Jersey, this car has always been registered in Leicestershire and registered in the owner’s wife’s name – there is a letter on file with the car to this effect. The car was owned by Mrs P until August this year, an ownership tenure of some 30 years and 5 months!
The car was given to Mrs P as a gift from her husband, to be used as Mrs P’s personal vehicle. It remained in Mrs P’s garage and saw very little use for several years. In 2014 the car was recommissioned by a Mercedes-Benz dealer, and it has been MOTd annually since then. After many years of careful stewardship, Mrs P decided to part with the car as it was no longer being used.
An almost complete MOT history accompanies the car, with certificates dating back to 1993. Also on file are documents detailing almost £2,000 spent recommissioning the car in 2014 with a further £5,000 spent in 2019.
A wonderful looking low mileage SL ready for a new custodian.

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?
