Description
1988 Mercedes-Benz 300SL (R107)
33, 000 miles
Signal Red (568) with Black Fabric (071) and
Signal Red Hard Top (568) and Black Fabric Soft Top (9001)
This beautiful June ’88 300SL has covered less than 30, 000 miles in it’s 32 year lifetime. Ordered in what would become the most iconic R107 SL colour of Signal Red, the combination of Fabric interior (often known as Sports Check) sets this car apart. Despite the sheer number of cars we see in Signal Red, it feels a little while since we had an example in the showroom with Black Sports Check, and it’s a refreshing change. This car looks, drives and feels just as crisp as when it was new. The Fabric interior offers cool seats in the summer and warm in the winter, without the shock of sitting down on burning hot or freezing cold leather! It’s a material that wears well, feels comfortable and airy over long distances and suits the era perfectly.
With a documented history file and an up to date service record, this car could be the SL you’ve been waiting for.
Present with this car is a detailed file of service and maintenance history spanning three decades. The original service book, book pack and manuals are present, along with an original brochure. All of the servicing and maintenance is broken down on a detailed top sheet, with all servicing and MOT mileages detailed since new.
