Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1987 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL is a late-model R107 that has been in the same family for almost its entire life, boasting extensive service history and a 2014 restoration. It presents very well with a timeless silver exterior and a well-preserved blue interior, though a minor frame corrosion spot and hardtop marks are noted.
Condition

The car is described as beautifully maintained with very good exterior presentation after a 2014 restoration. While there is a small area of corrosion on the driver's side frame and minor marks on the hardtop, these are minor imperfections. The interior presents extremely well with only a small mark on the driver's seat noted. Mechanically, the engine and gearbox are reported to run very well with no known issues, and the suspension, steering, and brakes are all reported to be in good working order. This aligns with an 'Excellent' condition rating.
