THE RAREST, AND MOST COLLECTIBLE FROM THE R107 MODEL RANGE. WITH THE MOST MODERN ALLOY ENGINE, CAR SPECIFICATION, PERFORMANCE AND FUEL ECONOMY IMPROVEMENTS. COST NEW NEARLY £110,000 in TOTAL in 1989.
Out of a total 237,287 made from 1971 to Mid 1989, the 300SL was the 2nd most Rare Model after the older engine 420SL, at a mere 2,148. Compare this to nearly 50,000 made of just the 560SL.
210 BHP FROM COMPLETELY STANDARD MODERN ALLOY ENGINE, BUT WITH A HI-PERF KOENIG FREE-FLOW HEADER EXHAUST SYSTEM FACTORY-FITTED TO BE AS QUIET AS THE ORIGINAL UPON OWNER'S REQUEST!
This gives a 0-60 mph Acceleration time of less than a second more than the Flagship 560SL at 227 BHP, as the 300SL engine is much lighter and handles better. Top speed difference of circa 9 MPH? Urban fuel economy of 300SL is more than double the 560/500SL.
At a Guaranteed 10,000 miles plus, with Swedish Bi-Annual MOT Documented History, is this one of the lowest mileage SLs left in the WORLD? Well cannot be many more out there with provenance and a lower mileage? Owned from new by a Rich Swedish Car Collector, who had it in Professional storage for most of its Life. Car was apparently built during the last week of final production after 18 Years?
