1989 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL
MERCEDES 300SL GUARANTEED 11,000M 1 OWNER SINCE NEW! 10YR WARRANTY. MAGIC MODEL DESIGNATION DUE TO BEING THE RAREST & LAST 1 MADE!
DESCRIPTION
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 £100,000 in TOTAL in 1989.
The very few similar very, very low genuine mileage 300 SL LHD left in the whole World, are advertised for near €100,000 by European Dealers, when they become occasionally available. As this most sought after variant of the R107 was never sold in North America, similar mileage 560 SL (far more common Model), command around $120,000, if and when available. ( On current 27/9/16 Exchange rates, this amounts to around £87,000 to £94,000 asking prices!) So our price is an incredible nearly 35% discount!
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?
Please Note: If an avid Collector wants this entire car back to Mercedes Exact Factory Standard, we can arrange this through Professional Restorers at NO EXTRA COST, as we have all the original items that were replaced. We are happy to arrange this, as long as we can keep all the Special items that are currently on the car. Namely the very expensive and exclusive Historical 3 piece genuine Lightweight Race Alloys with rare Historical Size Road/Race Tyres and Exhaust; as they are worth nearly £8,000 to the right Buyers!
PLEASE DO NOT CONFUSE THE ORIGINAL AND THE ONLY 300SL MODEL RECORDED TO BE FACTORY FITTED BY KOENIG THEMSELVES FROM BRAND NEW THAT COST NEARLY £100,000 IN TOTAL IN 1989 WITH THE MANY RETRO COWBOY FITTED BODY KIT JUNK OUT THERE, MASQUERADING AS GENUINE FACTORY FITTED KOENIG FROM BRAND SPANKING NEW, WHEN IT IS NOT TRUE. AND THEIR BUILD QUALITY IN COMPARISON IS TOTAL RUBBISH!
MILEAGE IS 100% GUARANTEED CORRECT WITH ALL TOOLS AND DOCUMENTATION. WE ALSO 100% GUARANTEE THAT THIS IS THE ONLY ORIGINAL FROM NEW 300SL SUPER-WIDE BODY FULL SPECIFICATION EVER PROFESSIONALLY FITTED AT THE ORIGINAL AND BEST KOENIG FACTORY AT GREAT EXPENSE. THE TOTAL NUMBER OF OTHER SL MODELS FITTED BY KOENIG WITH THE WIDE-BODY WAS circa 40. (Although a lot of them had the much cheaper Monobloc BBS alloys).
CAR IS NEARLY 6′ 9″ WIDE (2M+), WITH EXPENSIVE GENUINE 3 PIECE RACING 13J WIDE BBS ALLOYS WITH SPECIAL ORDER 395 mm WIDE REAR TYRES. (This causes a 10% over-reading of the Milometer). INCREDIBLE AND RARE.
A Genuine Original Factory fitted Koenig Super-Wide-body, in the 1980’s was the ultimate, rare and most ostentatious vehicle visual Design enhancement possible. Today, it may seem over the top and vulgar, and not to a Puritan’s Taste!………..But…………. One Day this will be recognised as an Iconic Design Style from a Bygone Era!
A 3 Year Warranty is available for this “Time Warp” car, (stc) We are not aware of any other Classic Car Dealers offering such a long Warranty on such old cars! Under further negotiation, we can even offer you a 5 Year option and even a 10 Year Chassis option (stc), if you so desire, for your Total Peace of Mind, while your Investment, also doubles in value in the coming Years.
This is a full 2+2 Factory Order Black Leather Seating configuration in perfect Condition with Hardtop and Soft Top.
