1986 Mercedes-Benz 300SL R107 EURO Model
Here is the chance to own THE NEXT COLLECTABLE SL ROADSTER – 1986 Mercedes- Benz European Spec 300SL!!!
What makes this SL differ from the other ones on the US roads is that this is TRUE EUROPEAN model, featuring lively 3.0 liter Inline 6 cylinder engine, elegant European one piece square headlights, and more aesthetically appealing European short bumpers – The way Mercedes-Benz Designed the R107 Series!
During its short production course from 1985-1989 there was ONLY 13,742 of 300SL’s produced WORLDWIDE and this beauty is ONE of them!!!
With its rare and desirable color combination, and the fact that this is true, Original EUROPEAN 300SL, there is not a lot of R107 SL’s like this one on the road today!!
Exterior:
Its HIGHLY Desirable and Elegant Smoke Silver Metallic Paint (Paint Code 702G rauchsilber) has a beautiful shine and luster and combined with its dark brown interior this SL looks absolutely stunning!!! Paint appears to be all original, and upon closer inspection and due to the fact its 33 years old there are some minor blemishes in it, but nothing that is taking away from its overall beauty. Paint is definitively a “Driver” quality paint. Chrome is in absolutely excellent condition, it is complete, healthy and new looking, and this beautiful roadster is a head turner and conversation piece everywhere it goes.
Body is in wonderful condition and it is straight as an arrow! All doors, hood, and trunk are operating with ease, and everything lines up properly.
Factory VIN # stamping on the front radiator support shows originality of this car. Whole engine bay is healthy looking and very clean without signs of abuse!!!
There is just not a lot of 300SL’s out there in this solid and nicely preserved condition!!
Original undercarriage and floors are solid, unmolested and free of any kind of undercoating’s!
Like they say “Originality is king when it comes to classic cars”!! Not only does finding a 30ish year old car that has not been altered by numerous past owners add to your enjoyment of the car; the more original features that you can substantiate the better when it comes time to sell your treasure!!!
Experienced car collectors and investors have learned that a solid, sound, original body is the most important aspect of any vintage car! Mechanical rebuilds are straight forward and not costly compared to trying to correct a previously crashed or rusted car. One cannot throw enough money at a car with a bad body to make it right or equal to a car with a great original structure like on this beauty!!
This SL is equipped with both soft top, and the hard top! Its Dark Brown Soft top is in great condition (small repair in it), it is very easy to operate, and vinyl windows are nice and clear.
Original Hard top is also in great condition, including all the glass, and the headliner which is clean, and rips and tears free!!
All glass isORIGINALincluding theORIGINAL SEKURIT Windshield!!
Original Alloy wheels are wrapped with like new Yokohama Avid tires, and they make this SL ride beautifully!
-Interior
Original Dark Brown MB-Tex interior is in great condition!!!! Seats are very supportive and comfortable.
Original dash has NO cracks or plastic covers on it!! Very rare to find on an SL of this vintage!!!
Power windows are working as they should.
-Engine & Transmission
European Spec 3.0 Liter Inline 6 engine starts up with ease, and it is strong and powerful as ever with only 111,800 miles (180,000 Kilometers – Speedometer is in KM/H)
It starts up with ease hot or cold and it has no issues developing highway speeds (please see Video!)
Engine compartment is very neat and clean, without any signs of abuse, even showing its original engine spec stickers.
Right before we acquired it, its previous owner had it serviced with fresh oil change, new Denso A/C compressor, as well as replacement of engine, transmission and subframe mounts!
Automatic Transmission shifts smoothly and effortlessly through every gear, and it makes this SL absolute joy to drive and cruise in! This German Roadster handles great at the high speeds, and it is very comfortable.
Air Condition works as it should, and this car is ready for some fall topless fun!!!! There is nothing better than driving down the road with the top down, and the wind in your hair!!!
This beautiful Mercedes comes with its owner’s manual, maintenance records, as well as with its original Tool Set!
This is a very nicely kept and complete Mercedes SL, that has been loved its whole life, it was never abused, and it truly shows!! Every used SL has been created equal, but there are some that have been loved just a little bit more!!!! This car is one of those SL’s!!
