This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers, The Classic Sale at Wheeler Dealer Live 2025 on Sunday the 1st of June, Bicester Heritage, OX26 5HA. Introduced in 1985, the 300SL was powered by the 2,962cc M103.982, single-cam straight-six with KE-Jetronic injection offering 188bhp, 192lb/ft and 128mph This example is finished in Signal Red over an unmarked Cream Leather interior with a matching factory hardtop and has covered just 48,590 miles from new  Delivered new by Charles Sydney Mercedes-Benz in Bradford, the SL still carries the supplying dealer plates, tax disc holder, and window sticker The original leather folder contains all the manuals, including that for the radio, as well as the original stamped service book, the all important data card, every single tax disc, and every historic MOT certificate Our vendor acquired the car from the estate of a deceased previous owner, and understands that it has been dry-stored throughout its life. Its fabulous condition would certainly back up that assertion  The service history is meticulous and shows that the car has been used sparingly, yet still main dealer maintained every year, covering less than 5,000 miles in the last twenty years This exceptional SL is one of the desirable late cars having been registered in early1988 and, thanks to its very low mileage, good storage conditions and no expense spared maintenance, this highly original Mercedes ascends close to showroom order
