The Appeal
Mercedes-Benz starting producing the SL (Sport Leicht) model in 1954. The third generation SL appeared in 1971, featuring a two-door monocoque body shell with independent suspension all round, coil springs and an anti-roll bar at the front. The power-assisted steering was Benz’s own recirculating ball system providing a smooth and relaxed steering to this stylish and iconic car.
This particular car is presented in exceptional original condition inside and out, with a desirable colour scheme and trim level, and the iconic and robust 3-litre straight-six.

Receipts also verify the retrimmed leather interior, new mohair hood, radiator and anything else that the car has required during its lifetime.
The Interior
- Full grey leather interior
- MP3 head unit with Bluetooth and Aux connection
- Electric windows
With a fully retrimmed grey leather interior, including seat facings and door cards, the cabin in this SL is immaculate. The rear bench is also wrapped in the grey leather and, like the rest of the interior, shows no wear at all. The dashboard and switchgear are clean with no marks at all. Lights, stalks and heating controls are operational and the electric windows open and close freely.
Interior sills are clean and all the carpets are in very good condition. The car boot area is clean and comes with a new spare wheel, tool kit, jack and Mercedes first aid kit. Overall, the inside of the car presents very well indeed.
The Exterior
- Lovely Surf Blue paintwork
- New navy blue fabric roof
- Colour-coded hard top
The Surf blue paintwork is in very good condition, the only issue of note is on the off-side front wing where on the top edge there is a light scratch that has gone through the paintwork (shown in the photo gallery). All tyres have good tread and the wheel facings are clean and free of any scuffs or scratches.
All of the brightwork around the car is clean and shows no marks at all, including the door mirror casings and the front and rear bumpers. The new navy blue fabric mohair roof is commensurate with the rest of the car and presented in excellent condition. It opens with ease and stows under a blue panel.
Also included in the sale is a colour-coded hard top that is in excellent condition, the wiring cable is intact to connect and utilise the heated rear windscreen elements and the light-coloured headlining is in exceptional condition. A black fabric case is included to house the hard top.

The Mechanics
- Sonorous 3-lire straight six
- 4-speed automatic transmission
Recently serviced and with a fresh MOT the car has been extremely well maintained since 1987. Recent work carried out includes a new radiator and water pump. The vehicle coms with a huge service history file with receipts covering the car's maintenance throughout its lifetime.
That straight-six is a fabulous sounding engine, delivering a punchy 187bhp to the rear wheels, through a smooth-shifting automatic gearbox. Keeping everything pointing in the right direction, the R107 benefitted from double wishbone front suspension, which helps deliver an involving drive while maintaining the SL's cosseting ride. We're assured by the owner that the car drives very well and there are no issues they are aware of.
Summary
This 300SL has an incredibly smooth 3-litre engine, mated to the automatic transmission, it's the perfect cruiser for long drives or spirited runs. As a reliable daily classic, an appreciating asset or a weekend toy to enjoy when the weather is good - this SL ticks all of the boxes.
With an immaculate service history, recently refreshed interior, new fabric roof and that removable hard-top, this SL really is all the car you need. And with that eye-catching Surf Blue paint finish, it's as pretty as it is reliable. Don't miss out on this opportunity to acquire a sterling example of one of the finest vehicles ever made.

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.
