1987 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL R107

Highlights

  • Desirable factory rear seats and cruise control
  • Recently refreshed with new stainless exhaust rear silencer, fresh undersealing, new roof/ hardtop release cable, alloy wheels refurbished and a partial interior retrim
  • MOT valid until 29th April 2025
  • Comes with cherished registration MBZ877

The Appeal

Despite almost four decades having elapsed since production ceased in 1989, the R107 SL remains among the most usable roadsters ever made. Superbly engineered, beautifully built and blessed with some of the most stylish lines ever penned, it's no wonder the R107 is still riding a wave of popularity.

If you're looking to add one to your garage - something we highly recommend - this 1987 300 SL would be a fantastic candidate. It's the post-facelift model, benefitting from a galvanised shell and the well-regarded M103 3.0-litre straight-six engine.

This Diamond Blue example comes with the desirable options of factory rear seats and cruise control.  If you love Mercedes-Benz as much as we do, you'll know this opportunity is too good to miss
