Registration number: RG-XN-12

You’re looking at a true driver’s quality car. A 1986 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL, built to be driven and built to do so with comfort and reliability. This particular SL was originally delivered in Germany, in the Koblenz region, and has been consistently and properly maintained ever since by official Mercedes-Benz dealers and specialists. It comes with its original books, including the service booklet with stamps and some supporting invoices.

*Timeless color combination*
The color scheme is both classic and elegant: Nautical Blue on the exterior, paired with Champignon beige leather upholstery. Add the dark blue fabric soft top, and the visual balance is perfect. The bodywork is clean and crisp, the paint shines with a deep luster, and the overall presence radiates that unmistakable German solidity. This is exactly why the R107 series has earned such admiration over the years.

Inside, you’ll find beautifully kept leather seats and well-preserved carpeting. The dashboard looks tidy, and everything functions just as it should. The interior still feels warm, refined, and purposeful—exactly what Mercedes-Benz intended in the 1980s.

*Built to last, equipped to enjoy*
Start it up and the familiar inline-six hums to life—smooth, composed, and reliably strong. The automatic transmission shifts effortlessly, and the suspension, with its independent setup and four-wheel disc brakes, delivers that signature Mercedes blend of control and comfort. This is a grand touring car designed for those who truly enjoy the drive.

This example is also well equipped, featuring heated exterior mirrors on both sides, heat-insulating glass all around, and cruise control. These thoughtful details make all the difference, especially when covering long distances.

*The story of the R107*
The 300 SL you see here was introduced in 1985, replacing the 280 SL within the R107 lineup. It came with a new 3.0-liter inline-six producing 188 horsepower, capable of reaching around 130 mph. But more importantly, it delivered improved torque and fuel economy compared to its predecessor, making it a highly desirable version today. The R107 was Mercedes-Benz’s flagship roadster of the era—every detail communicates confidence, refinement, and longevity.

This isn’t a flashy supercar or an uncompromising sports machine. It’s a stylish, luxurious touring car engineered to cover thousands of miles without breaking a sweat. And with its strong engine, complete service history, and excellent overall condition, this one is ready to bring joy for many years to come.
