Smoke Silver (7020) with Beige Leather (275) and
Matching Smoke Silver Metallic Hard Top (7020) with Dark Brown Fabric Soft Top (8023)

The first owner of this 300 SL selected Smoke Silver Metallic (7020) paintwork, paired with a Beige leather (275) interior and a Dark Brown (9023) folding fabric roof. Both the metallic paint and leather upholstery were expensive options when purchased new, as was the rear seats and paintwork preservation.

The pre-delivery inspection signature for this 300 SL is dated 06/08/1988, with the vehicle receiving its first service stamp from the same garage only two months later at 989 miles. Within the documentation, you will notice a religiously adhered to service schedule, with the same garages used by the various owners throughout its life. A service trend such as this, is evidence of a well-maintained and loved vehicle.

Alongside the original service book, is a plethora of paperwork detailing works carried out over the past 34 years, including invoices for aftermarket upgrades made to improve safety and driver enjoyment. These include a Viper security system with control-operated central locking, as well as the addition of an aftermarket Pioneer head unit.
