The Mercedes-Benz R107 SL is one of the most enduring and iconic models in the marque’s history.

Produced from 1971 to 1989, it combined elegance, robustness and grand touring comfort in one package.

In 1986, the model underwent a significant update, including a revised range of engines, improved suspension and crucially, the introduction of a galvanised body shell – greatly improving corrosion resistance.

These later cars, often referred to as ‘facelift’ models, are among the most sought after, particularly in six-cylinder 300SL form which offered a balance of smooth power delivery and relative economy.

The stunning 300SL on offer here, which is believed to be one of the last R107 SLs built, must not be confused with the many average examples that come to market, standing head and shoulders above its contemporaries, exceptional and original throughout and used sparingly throughout its life, as shown by the incredibly low recorded mileage of 7,837.
