The ultimate six-cylinder derivative of Mercedes-Benz's renowned R107-series, the 300SL was introduced at the September 1985 Frankfurt Motor Show. Equipped with Bosch KE-Jetronic fuel injection, its in-line SOHC M103 2962cc engine developed some 177bhp and 188lbft of torque (outputs sufficient for a reputed 125mph top speed). Sharing the same two-door monocoque bodyshell, all-around independent coil-sprung suspension, and power-assisted steering as its V8 brethren it proved notably more fuel efficient. Fitted with a four-speed automatic transmission as standard, it further benefited from improved anti-corrosion treatment and ABS brakes. Only in production between 1985 and 1989, just 13,443 300SLs are thought to have been despatched worldwide.

This Mercedes-Benz 300SL was delivered new by Mercedes-Benz main dealer Lancaster Garages (Ipswich) Ltd on the 23^rd of April 1986 to Mr R.V. Goodwin of Coggeshall, Essex. Now with 10 previous registered keepers, the car is only showing 97,930 miles which, although not warranted, are believed genuine. It is very clear that the car was cherished by these previous owners as the accompanying Maintenance Booklet shows 18 Main Dealer stamps from new up to the last one in April 2005 at 87,643 miles. The car presents very well outside and especially inside and is offered with the factory hardtop and the aforementioned Maintenance Booklet, as well as a current V5C and a folder containing a sheaf of old invoices and MOTs.
