The Appeal
The 300SL has always been a popular member of the Mercedes stable. Its straight-six engine has legendary performance and reliability, runs silky smooth and sounds just right. There’s very little not to like about a 300SL.
G686 SGS was first registered in August 1989, marking it out as one of the last of the line. It’s rare to find an R107 on a ‘G’ registration plate.
This SL really does stand out amongst its peers as being especially desirable. The factory spec was very well chosen back in 1989, with the cream leather upholstery working well aesthetically with the deep red paint. It has the potential to fulfil its next owners desires whether they’re seeing it as a reliable daily driver or an appreciating collectable. There are few SL’s on the market on a G registration plate, but this ought to be very high on your wish list.

The History and Paperwork
- Low mileage
- Fully Documented Service History
- First registered in August 1989
- 12 month MOT
- Driven fewer than 1,000 miles in the past six years
There is a folder full of paperwork available with this car, which includes invoices and receipts of work carried out, in addition to a fully stamped service booklet.
The current MOT runs till October 2023.
The vendor acquired the car from an elderly couple who purchased it back in 2000. The vendor is somewhat of a Mercedes specialist with several classic models in his collection.
He spent some time looking for this car as was very keen to add an unusual colour to his collection. It wasn’t just the colour that appealed however, but also the low original mileage and it being on a G registration, the very last plate of the R107 line.
The vendor is now looking to reduce his collection as other commitments means that the cars just don’t get used as much as he would like them to.
The Interior
- Beige leather seats in excellent condition
- Original Mercedes first aid kit, still in cellophane wrap
- Rear occasional seats
- Superb walnut dash
- Excellent door panels
- Pioneer Stereo
Upon opening the long doors of this SL, you are presented with the inviting prospect of sitting in the sumptuous leather seats and being transported in style and comfort. The leather upholstery is in immaculate condition, reflecting the car’s low mileage, and the quality of the owners care.
The driver is provided with a full complement of gauges on the dashboard, we particularly enjoy the analogue fuel economy gauge. And running along the centre console is a veneer of highly polished walnut, which retains a deep shine. The switches and controls all remain in good condition and the vendor reports that everything functions as it should.
To the rear, the voluminous boot is clean and tidy, with its full sized spare wheel under the floor as well as the original Mercedes first aid kit, still in its cellophane wrapper.
The Exterior
- Desirable colour combination
- Very presentable paintwork
- Original soft-top in excellent condition
Finished in a beautiful shade of deep red, this 300SL looks very smart and is ready to grace any highway with its presence.
The bodywork is all in very solid condition, with nice even panel gaps and no visible sign of corrosion. The doors and boot close with a pleasing hunk, and the bonnet is correctly aligned.
The soft-top hood is in superb condition with no holes, cracks or milkiness to the windows. The original factory hard-top is also included, this is too in very good order.
The exterior chrome work appears to be bright and the light fittings are clear. One of the alloy wheels has suffered from some blistering, but the others present well, with only minor scratches. On the whole, this is evidently a car that hasn’t suffered abuse or damage.
Overall, this is a car which wouldn’t look out of place on today’s roads.

The Mechanics
- Three-litre straight-six engine
- 188bhp when new
- 4-speed auto gearbox
- Starts easily and runs beautifully
- New Bosch battery
- Engine Bay has just been thoroughly cleaned
Under the bonnet, the smooth running six-cylinder engine fitted to this 300SL is known as a well engineered unit, which can go on to cover extremely high mileages.
As you’d expect of a car with this history and mileage, it starts and runs beautifully. Gear changes from the 4-speed auto box are smooth and quiet and the car pulls away as it should.

Summary
This Mercedes comes in an attractive colour, with complimenting cream leather upholstery. It will look good on any driveway, as a fine example of this model’s timeless appeal. This is the kind of car that matures with age, its design looking as great today as it ever did.
Its next owner will have to decide whether the car deserves to be driven, or if it should continue to be carefully stored, taking care not to increase its mileage.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
