1987 Mercedes R107 300 SL Roadster

In production for an impressive 18 years, the R107 Mercedes-Benz SL has style and panache. Introduced in 1971, the R107 SL was blessed with timeless good looks, while legendary Mercedes-Benz build quality ensured a loyal following from day one. The solidity of the engineering can be felt from the moment you close the door with a satisfying clunk. The 107 chassis was also the longest running of the Mercedes family, finally leaving production in 1989. These days the SL is as sought after as ever, meaning prices have remained strong, but a good example is still hard to beat.

Finished in Anthracite Grey metallic with contrasting mushroom leather interior we are informed by the vendor that this particular car has recently been the subject of a quality repaint along with having the alloy wheels refurbished at the same time and as a result it looks superb from any angle. The factory hardtop is in excellent order as is the canvas top. This really is a classic that can be used all year round if required.

There are invoice bills with this car totalling just under £16000, along with 16 previous MOT certificates. We are informed the car drives superbly with no cause for concern from any area of the drive-train. If you're looking for a quality classic roadster then this could well be the car for you, sold with a very interesting number plate and MOT'd until April 2014 this particular 300 SL certainly looks superb value.
