Mercedes-Benz have been producing an SL model or range of models
since 1954. The similarly styled but mechanically unrelated 190
followed in 1955 completing the first generation of cars. The
second generation SL's began with the 230 in 1963. It was
distinguished by its lower waistline. big curved screens and a
distinctive optional hardtop that earned the model its nickname of
`pagoda top'. Over its nine years of production. the second
generation SL's engine grew in capacity from 2. 3 litres to 2. 5
litres and finally to 2. 8 litres which was shown by the name 230Sl. br/>250SL and 280SL. The larger. third generation SL was launched in
1971. initially with just a 3. 5-litre engine (350SL) mated to
four-speed automatic transmission. The car featured a two-door
monocoque body shell with independent suspension all round. coil
springs and anti-roll bar at the front and semi-trailing arms. coil
springs and anti-roll bar at the rear. The power assisted steering
was Daimler-Benz's own re-circulating ball system. Over its
seventeen year reign. the R107 range was powered by no less than
eight different engines - two sizes of straight-six unit and six
versions of 90-degree V8.

This excellent. righthand drive Mercedes-Benz 300SL with the
optional rear seats was purchased by the vendor from a very
reputable Mercedes-Benz SL specialists in the Midlands and while in
his ownership has spent approx £4. 00 to make sure that the car is
mechanically sound. recent work carried out to the car includes a
new black mohair soft-top. the repair and painting to the driver's
side sill panel and the replacement of the offside steering track
rod end. Finished in red with matching hard-top and black leather
interior this Mercedes-Benz 300SL is supplied with a V5C
registration document. an MoT test certificate which expires in
November 2013 and a file containing invoices regarding the works
carried out. The vendor tells us that this car does drive superbly. br/>never misses a beat and is a true grand tourer. The ideal car for
what we hope will be a stunning summer.
