About this Mercedes-Benz SL Series

This beautiful R107 series Mercedes 300SL was one of the very last cars to be built by Mercedes Benz in 1989 and was sold new by Mercedes Benz dealer Jacksons, in St Helier, Jersey and first registered to its first lady owner in Jersey on 12th June 1989. It has only had 3 owners from new and it is finished in arguably one of the best colour combinations of Signal Red with a Beige Leather interior including rear Child Seats, Beige carpets, a relatively new Black Mohair Soft Top, factory Hard Top, 2996cc 188bhp 6 Cylinder Engine, 3 Speed Automatic Transmission, Air Conditioning (but not connected), Power Assisted Steering, Cruise Control, Electric Windows, electric passenger Door Mirror, a Blaupunkt Radio/Cassette player and sitting on its original 15" Flat Face Alloy Wheels.

After 10 years in Jersey, the car was purchased by a Mrs Rosemary Warner from Lymington in the New Forest and was registered here on 1st August 1999. Mrs Warner enjoyed the car for a further 10 years before it was taken off the road and placed in to storage with just over 91,000 miles recorded. It was taken out of storage and recommissioned back for use and MOT'd in January 2016 by the same garage in Salisbury whom she had been using and with the mileage recorded at 91,043. We also believe the whole car was repainted very shortly after this, although there is no invoice in the history file supporting this.

With only a couple of hundred miles covered after this, it was sold and purchased by the current owner in December 2019 with 91,350 miles recorded and in July 2020 the car was taken to Mercedes specialist Roger Edwards in Amersham who carried out a full Bulkhead repair, new Brake Discs and Pads, new Sub-Frame mounts, a Full Service and a new MOT and their invoice came to a not unsubstantial £14,220.22 for all the works undertaken.

The car has now covered 92,235 miles from new and it comes with invoices for all the works carried out since 2004 plus MOT certificates and its MOT history, a clear HPi and National Mileage Register check, Owners Manual, an original Mercedes SL300 Sales brochure and two sets of keys. With only 3 owners in its 32 year life, it has obviously been very well maintained by each of them as it really is in exceptional condition throughout and drives beautifully.
The R107 Mercedes 300SL is renowned for its reliability and consequently a car that can be driven and enjoyed regularly as as well as now being a fast appreciating asset!

Upon sale the car will receive a pre-sales service and new MOT and it will come with our own 6 Month Mechanical Warranty which can be upgraded and extended at additional cost if required.
