Leaf Cars of Odiham in November 1990, this early R129 Series SL300 is finished
in Pearl Grey with colour coded removable factory hard-top with Navy Mohair
hood and sits on a set of later 16” five-spoke style alloy wheels shod with Avon
tyres.
Under the bonnet, we find the 3.0 litre
12-valve SOHC M103 inline six cylinder engine which produces 188bhp driving the
rear wheels here via four-speed automatic transmission.
Inside, we find grey checker cloth trim (a rare cost option only
available on the earlier cars) without rear seats, plus walnut trim, electric
seat operation, electric windows, electric roof, heated rear screen, climate
control, ABS, cruise control and roll over bar.
The car presents well and shows 95,960 miles, starting promptly and
running as it should with a smart interior, exterior, hard-top and
soft-top which shows some signs of age with the rear window just coming
away from the Mohair on the nearside.
The
history file includes the V5C showing just three former keepers, the Owner’s
pack with manuals and service book recording 14 stamps, the last in March 2015
at 89,260 miles by MBS Mercedes Specialists.
We
also find some 18 old MOTs, it has an MOT until November
2024 recording two minor advisories at 95,972 miles. In addition, the file also contains a
ream of historic bills for parts and maintenance over the years, some technical
and spec info plus recent bills from the SL Shop which set our vendor back some
£2,000. This included a full health check, a new brake
fluid reservoir, repair to a hydraulic hose, repair to the roof mechanism, fuel
pump filter, repair to a fuel leak and other minor works.
Ready to be enjoyed this looks to be a tidy, earlier example with
the rare interior option at sensible money.
