Mercedes 300SL R107 1989 Being first registered in August 1989 and production of the R107 finishing August 4th 1989 this nice 300 SL R107 must be one of the last to be registered in the UK before being superseded. Having the 3 litre 6 cylinder engine gives this car only 10 horse power less than the 3.5 litre V8 but at less revs and lighter weight out front this translates to a very smooth and agile car that some people prefer a more sporty feel. The vendor a Mercedes enthusiast himself has owned this car for the last 6 years and carried out any small jobs and maintenance himself. The car has a service history book stamped up to 127782 miles in 2005. Having now covered 153247 miles and still running very well. Equipped with the more popular automatic transmission which functions correctly this Merc drives very well on the road and turns heads wherever you go. Its body work is very good with only a very few minor imperfections the vendor does point out that there is some minor bubbling evident on the top front of the drivers wing that if he were to keep the car would look to get rectified now rather than leaving to get worse. All the chrome and stainless steel work is great. The car has a navy blue coloured soft top hood and this is said to be very good. The grey leather interior is very good just some very minor wear evident on the drivers seat bolster. The Stereo has been removed but otherwise the dash carpets and wood trims are in very good condition. The general electrics and mechanics are all good. Prices on R107 model Mercedes go up year on year with the best of the best commanding prices equivalent or more than when new. This lovely example has a sensible reserve that will allow the market to decide on the day. A very useable car with an MOT until July 10th in a lovely colour combination
