1988 Mercedes-Benz 300SL | Stockport, Cheshire

A 1988 Mercedes-Benz 300SL, from the R107 series of roadsters built from 1971 to 1989. It is known for relaxed grand-touring comfort and solid construction, and for being the only Mercedes roadster in the range for nearly two decades. A fabric roof and a detachable hardtop both belong to the model. This car is finished in Impala, a light gold, with a cream interior that keeps the cabin bright. It has a chocolate brown soft top and a hardtop painted in matching Impala, so the car looks different with each roof. Under the bonnet is a 3000cc straight-six, and the car is in excellent condition. The gold and cream palette is soft and warm on camera, which suits photography, fashion and editorial work and music videos. Its 1980s lines fit period film and TV, and with the roof down both occupants are in clear view. Events, weddings and personal hires get a gentle alternative to a white car. The car is based in Stockport, Cheshire.
