The Mercedes Benz has been superbly maintained, it has benefited from regular oil changes and waxoyling, and has been very carefully owned and garaged. Invoices for servicing accompany the service book, along with many MOT certificates. Maintenance and upkeep with the recent owner include a new exhaust system, brake calipers, brake pads and its clear from the condition the car has been maintained with no expense spared. The car drives beautifully, the inline six cylinder engine performs perfectly and is in exceptional condition, the smooth gear changes are fabulous and the car handles and holds the road with luxury, comfort, quality and class. This 300SL is cosmetically very impressive with excellent bodywork with straight panels, has clearly never suffered from major corrosion, and the Smoke Silver paintwork and brightwork are fabulous. The upholstery is as expected of a well-kept, original, low mileage car. This is an R107 that has never required restoration, and finding original cars like this at a sensible price point is not easy.
