Service records and invoices covering the past 11 years
The Appeal
Of all the myriad variants of the R107 SL, the 300 is perhaps the best buy. Featuring the later evolution of the straight-six engine, the 300 SL strikes a nice balance between performance, economy, and ease of maintenance.
This UK market right-hand drive 1988 example in Deep Blue (900O) has been in the care of its current keeper for approximately 20 years. It was garage-stored until 2022 and comes with a reassuring file of service records and invoices spanning the past 11 years.
Recent mechanical attention has included suspension work, ignition system components, new rear tyres with alignment, and a replacement distributor body. The car comes equipped with both a hard top and its integrated dark blue soft top. This is a reluctant sale of a well-maintained, well-documented R107.image.png1.62 MB

✓ The seller is registered as a private seller which means consumer rights stemming from EU consumer protection law do not come into effect. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic’s own Terms and Conditions..
