Description
16, 108 miles and coming out of long term ownership, this is a very rare opportunity to acquire a genuine, completely original survivor.
Offered for sale is an exceptional 1987 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL (R107), presented in remarkably original condition and having covered just 16, 000 miles from new. This is a rare opportunity to acquire one of the finest examples of the iconic R107, a model renowned for its timeless styling, outstanding build quality, and effortless grand touring capability.
The 300 SL occupies a particularly desirable place within the R107 range. Powered by Mercedes-Benz's smooth and dependable 3. 0-litre inline-six engine, it offers an ideal balance of performance, refinement, and reliability. Compared with the V8 models, the six-cylinder engine is lighter over the front axle, giving the car a more agile and composed feel while still delivering relaxed cruising and the unmistakable quality expected of a classic Mercedes-Benz. It is also widely regarded as being simpler and more economical to maintain, making it an excellent choice for both seasoned collectors and those entering classic Mercedes ownership.
This example is made all the more special by its exceptional provenance. It has been in the care of its current owner for 27 years, a testament to both the car's quality and the enjoyment it provides. Throughout that time it has been carefully preserved rather than restored, remaining completely original, a characteristic that is increasingly difficult to find and highly sought after by collectors.
With only 16, 000 genuine miles, the condition reflects its exceptionally low mileage. The interior, exterior, and mechanical components retain the authenticity and integrity that enthusiasts value, offering a level of originality that cannot be recreated.
The R107 is one of Mercedes-Benz's most enduring and respected classics. Produced for an impressive 18-year run, it became synonymous with quality engineering, elegant design, and long-distance comfort. Values of outstanding, low-mileage, original examples continue to attract strong interest as collectors increasingly recognise the importance of originality and provenance.
Whether you're looking for a distinguished classic to enjoy on sunny weekends, a comfortable touring car, or an investment-grade example of one of Mercedes-Benz's greatest roadsters, this 1987 300 SL represents a truly exceptional opportunity.
