Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This Mercedes-Benz 300SL-24, with an advisory-free MoT valid until July 2026 and 86,486 miles, is finished in Signal red with a light tan leather interior. Having been owned by its previous keeper for 15 years, it comes with a history of maintenance and service records, presenting a solid, well-documented example.
Condition
7
The car has some positive aspects such as a recent service, new tires, and a long MoT, suggesting it's mechanically sound. Cosmetically, the presence of 'various maintenance receipts' implies that it has been maintained. However, the fact that it comes with 'a large collection of MoTs going back to 2001' indicates it has been on the road for a while, during which slight wear is possible.
