Principal Facts:
1989 Mercedes-Benz 300SL (R107)
Diamond Blue Metallic (355) with Grey Leather (278) with
Diamond Blue Metallic Hard Top (355) and Dark Blue Fabric Soft Top (5010)
This beautiful low mileage car comes from just four careful owners, with a fully documented history file that explains in detail the story behind each owner.
With a delivery note dated 3rd February 1989, this Diamond Blue 300SL cost the first owner DM 82,822.20 as stated by the original build sheet. It was ordered in Germany and driven back to England, with the first owner covering just 1,200 miles before selling the car in August of 1989.
The second owner saw this car advertised in the newspaper and purchased it for his wife, who enjoyed this car for some 22 years. During this time it was used sparingly, and serviced by Mercedes-Benz main dealers. 23,800 miles later the car changed hands once more, this time being sold to a gent who would only cover 2,000 miles, taking the total mileage to 27,000 from the first three owners. It was then sold by a Mercedes-Benz main dealer to a gentleman who was looking for an exceptionally good 300SL with very low mileage. In his ownership the car has done just 395 miles and that is exactly how it appears in our showroom today, showing 27,395 on the odometer.
This Diamond Blue car is once again being offered from a small private collection and represents an excellent chance to acquire a low mileage car in a highly desirable colour.
A detailed history file accompanies the car, with the key service stamp dates shown below. What makes this car an even more alluring prospect is the presence of the original Sunday Times Motoring Newspaper page dated 27th August 1989.

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?
