This exceptional Mercedes-Benz 300SL has been lovingly maintained by its most recent custodian, who has spared no expense during his 10-year ownership. It is beautifully presented in Signal Red and retains its original factory paint – something of a rarity for this shade. The fact that it has not been resprayed or had its panels removed shows up in the precise factory-spec panel gaps all around. Sold new as a right-hand-drive, UK-market car, it features an immaculate Black and Charcoal cloth interior, and its service book features a wealth of original stamps – testament to how well it’s been looked after throughout its life. During the past 10,000 miles, it has benefitted from regular maintenance by The SL Shop. Along the way, items such as the anti-roll bar bushes and engine mounts have been replaced, and a major service in 2023 included repairs to the exhaust, fresh brake fluid following a pressure-flush of the system, and the steering box being refurbished. Later that year, the owner instructed The SL Shop to prepare this 300SL to the very highest standards, after which it was carefully placed into storage and not driven. In July 2024, it returned to The SL Shop for an oil service, meaning that it’s now ready to be used and enjoyed by its next owner. Even before its recent show-standard preparation, this was a concours-winning car, having regularly won its class and been awarded ‘Car of the Show’ at an event in which it beat 500 other entrants. It has always been praised by concours judges for its original condition, and only the stereo has been updated. The new Blaupunkt unit echoes the look of the period radio but features modern DAB functionality. Well sorted and prepared to the very highest standard, this Mercedes-Benz 300SL has been lightly but regularly driven over the past decade and fastidiously maintained regardless of annual mileage. It is now being offered for sale by its enthusiast owner purely due to a house move, and comes with its original warranty card, owner’s manual, service book and the UK-specific sales/service book – as well as the original factory data card. A stylish and supremely reliable choice of classic roadster, it must be one of the very best examples currently on the market.
