Mercedes 300SL Convertible 1990 - This lovely 1990 Mercedes 300SL not only comes with its factory hard top, which is in excellent condition and a personal plate but three folders of photos, bills, invoices etc charting its history as well.
Overall the exterior condition is said to be excellent with none of the rust problems that can beset Mercedes cars of this era, its blue coach work has that nice deep shine from regular polishing and there is complemented by an as new soft top that was replaced only last year. Interior is very nice but does have a small degree of wear to the drivers bolster, while all the electrical functions work as designed.
Mechanically the engine is said to run perfectly with the 3liter straight six giving a smooth but when required punchy performance and its switchable automatic gearbox, which was recently rebuilt, gives you a choice of modes for when you feel the need for a more sports car like drive.
With only 93675 on the clock and a history that reads like a novel, this Mercedes gives its owner quality and class at a ridiculously low price but one that now is on the up, these superbly built cars will be the next big collectables of the Marque.
With a new MOT it is ready for its new owner to enjoy, who knows we might just get the summer they have promised this year so a perfect time to have a convertible classic car?
