Available for immediate acquisition is this stupendous 300 SL finished in Nautic Blue (9290) with Beige Leather (275) – possibly the most sought-after colour combination associated with the R107 SL in the current market. The paintwork is in fantastic condition and absent of any major scratches. The side mouldings and headlights are all in original condition, with minimal defects. The chrome is still in top-tier condition and offers the subtle bling intended by Mercedes-Benz designers at the time.

The interior has been well-cared for by previous owners, with well-nourished leather showing distinctive creases and lines characteristic of a natural material. The seats remain firm and comfortable, offering hours of pleasurable driving as Captain or Co-Pilot making use of the arm rest available with this 300 SL. The factory optional rear seats appear to have been used sparingly, leaving them in a beautiful state.

The soft top stowage is in extremely clean condition, with no evidence of any water or dirt ingress. All cables operate as new, allowing you to make use of the hood with ease. The spare wheel is primed and ready to go; with a fully complete tool roll stowed away for use.

Accompanying the vehicle is a comprehensive file of history featuring record of all services carried out, as well as some invoices detailing work completed. The 300 SL an extremely low mileage, something you will struggle to find with a vehicle in this colour combination and specification for much longer. We expect this vehicle to quickly find a new home.
