A symbol of wealth and taste, the SL maintained its position as Mercedes' default tourer, appealing to those who valued safety, luxury and comfort.As a result, the majority were sold as automatic and more often than not, with a detachable hardtop, which converted the car into a coupe, offering the benefits of a reassuringly solid all-weather protection. The SL evolved into the 1980s, gaining ABS braking, a galvanised body, and in 1985, the installation of the new single-overhead-cam fuel-injected 3.0-litre straight-six.This automatic 1988 300 SL in 'Signal Red', with beige fabric upholstery, comes with the desirable rear seat option and body-coloured hardtop. It also comes with a file of invoices dating back to 1997, covering a regular servicing schedule and maintenance. Also included is £13,000 worth of SL Shop invoices pertaining to a 2014-2016 body and mechanical renovation. It comes with a further £3,500 worth of spending over the past two years and was last serviced in September 2024.Sold with a complete owners' wallet, three keys and has an MOT to April 2026, this is a great opportunity to own a solid late-model 300 SL in arguably the most suited colour. **** VEHICLE DETAIL **** We've written a longer and detailed description about this vehicle on our website that will have all of your burning questions answered.
