1988 | Mercedes-Benz 300 SL

The finest examples of the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL R107 rarely appear on the open market, often tucked away in private collections. We have been aware of this remarkable car for several years and are delighted to now present it in exceptional condition.

Originally registered in April 1988 by Daimler-Benz AG in Mannheim, Germany, this 300 SL has enjoyed careful ownership and a pampered life. Finished in Signal Red (code 568), the paintwork remains in immaculate, unmarked condition, displaying a deep, consistent shine. Known to have changed hands since we first encountered it in 2017, the car now resides within a collection where red cars are a particular passion.
