1988 Signal Red Mercedes-Benz 300SL For Sale

Redline Heritage Collection - 1988 Mercedes R107 300SL

Dallas was one of the biggest TV shows to ever grace the small-screen, both in the US, and internationally. The characters and storyline are well known even today, but petrolheads don't think first about Bobby and Pam, obviously they think about the iconic cars. One of the stars was an R107 Signal Red Mercedes SL. There were a number of big V8 versions available, and clearly they were the typical choice for the owners of the Ewing Oil company. However, it was the post 1985 facelift 300SL that really hit the sweet spot. With a lighter straight-six engine, still producing a healthy 188bhp, it had purposeful handling to complement the effortlessly cool styling. A factory hard-top was a very important addition, and arguably ensures the car pulls off a successful 'coupe' look when the weather doesn't quite live up to a Texan summer day.

Spec

Our 300SL is finished in the famous Signal Red, with chequered / black half vinyl seats, and dark burr walnut trim. The original 15 inch wheels are in exceptional condition. The combination of the 4 speed automatic with cruise control, ABS, power steering, and electric windows, make this car an effortless cruiser even by modern standards. The factory Signal Red hard-top is present as a winter alternative to the black soft top.

Condition

Not many cars can carry 122k miles like ours does. There is a huge history folder covering the many years of care and attention this car has received. The original service book is present showing the pre-delivery inspection through to 2006. The massive accompanying folder covers 2006 onwards, while also providing a story of ownership and maintenance throughout the car's life. The interior is immaculate, and the attention to detail continues through to the engine bay. There are a few areas on the paint and body that have been improved over the years, and the offside rear arch is showing some blistering in the paint. That in itself is a remarkably short list for a 34 year old car with over 100k miles. It is ready to be thoroughly enjoyed. The car will leave us with a full service and MOT.
