1988/E- Mercedes 300SL R107 Convertible. 66k, lady owner 28yrs, Air Con, FSH.

This striking diamond blue Mercedes 300SL R107 was registered in April 1988 and supplied by Rivervale Mercedes of Reading to its lady owner who went on to own it for 28 years until it was bequeathed to her relative this year.  

Mrs Jones maintained the car exclusively through Mercedes and it has been garaged throughout its life.

As a post-1986 (facelift) R107 the car benefits from galvanised body panels. improved suspension and brakes plus a switchable sports/economy gearbox.

The car presents and drives extremely well having been well cared for and garaged all of its life. The paintwork has an excellent depth of shine and the interior is virtually unmarked. The bulkhead has been inspected – photographs available.

The original Mercedes navy soft top is in ‘as-new condition' - it was understood Mrs Jones used the car rarely without the hardtop.

A recent MOT. major service. front brakes. air-conditioning conversion and four Michelin tyres mean the car is now ready to be enjoyed by its new owner.

Mercedes R107 SL's are a classic car that can be used every day and which offers strong investment potential. The 300SL is regarded by many as ‘the one to have'.
