Description
1986 Mercedes-Benz 300SL (R107)
Presented in the beautifully subtle shade of Diamond Blue with a matching navy soft top and contrasting Creme Beige leather interior, this 1986 Mercedes-Benz 300SL is one of those rare examples that speaks softly but carries undeniable presence. With just 59,693 miles recorded and accompanied by an impressively documented history file dating back to 1991, it’s clear this car has led a cherished, low-mileage life.
The bodywork is exceptional, the cabin has mellowed, and the driving experience is quintessentially SL; smooth, composed and quietly confident. Fitted with the classic 15-inch alloy wheels and walnut trim, and offered with a fresh MOT and service from marque specialists AutoClass, this is wonderful example ready to be enjoyed.
Diamond Blue with Creme Beige leather | 59,693 miles | Automatic | Huge history file
From the polished 15-inch factory alloys to the whisper-quiet 3.0-litre straight-six and creamy four-speed automatic transmission, it exudes the sort of poise and presence that no modern equivalent quite matches.
Model History
The R107-generation SL was a design and engineering triumph, introduced in 1971 and built for an extraordinary 18 years. It became a symbol of cultured luxury, driven by film stars, royalty and those who appreciated understatement with gravitas. The 300SL, introduced in 1985, marked the final evolution of the model and is considered by many to be the sweet spot in the range.
Powered by the Bosch fuel-injected 3.0-litre M103 straight-six, it offered 188bhp of silky performance, particularly well-matched to the four-speed automatic gearbox. Reviewers praised the R107 for its tank-like build quality, supple ride and long-distance comfort. Today, the 300SL stands apart as one of the most balanced and usable classic Mercedes convertibles, with this late-model example offering precisely the kind of provenance, colour combination and gentle mileage that will always command attention.
