Principal Facts:
1989 Mercedes-Benz 300SL (R107)
Signal Red (568) with Beige Fabric (075) and
Signal Red Hardtop (568) and Black Fabric Soft Top (9001)
61,258 miles
A high specification 300SL with Outside Air Temperature Gauge, Rear Seats and Beige Fabric, a desirable car that benefits from a significant recent spend – and an impeccable service record.
This Signal Red Mercedes-Benz 300SL was first registered on 11th August 1989 to Gynwebb Ltd, before ownership transferred to a Mrs D, who owned the car until 2003. From there it was purchased from a Reg Vardy dealership by a Mrs B, another long term keeper who adored this car for 17 years.
For every year since 2010 it has attended Mercedes-Benz of Teeside for a visual health check and MOT, covering very few miles in the last decade. Maintenance records on file date back to 2003, with the history painting a picture of a well cared for, lightly used car that has always been driven consistently.
Recent works include all new discs and pads, brake fluid, subframe bushes, anti-roll bar bushes, timing case seal, oil filter and fuel filter, new bonnet pad, all new tyres, full wheel refurbishment, front and rear propshaft couplings and refreshed paintwork including the hardtop – more than £10,000 has been spent to present this car in our showroom, much to the benefit of the next keeper. All of this work is documented within the file.
An excellent opportunity to purchase an honest and well cared for car that’s been loved by just two former keepers – a car that has recently enjoyed a significant recommissioning spend after years of limited usage, now ready and waiting for a new owner to use and enjoy.

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.
[RA]

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?
