1987 Mercedes-Benz 300SL | London, Kent

A 1987 Mercedes-Benz 300SL, from the R107 generation of SL roadsters built from 1971 to 1989. The model is known for relaxed grand-touring comfort, durable construction and a soft top backed by a detachable hardtop. It was the only Mercedes-Benz roadster from 1971 until 1989. This car is grey with a black leather interior, a restrained pairing that lets the chrome detail show. Its 3.0-litre engine gives a smooth, composed drive, and the cabin is comfortable. The car is in fair condition. Film and television productions set in the 1980s get a period Mercedes with the look of late-century affluence. Fashion, editorial and photography work suits the muted grey and black leather, which sit calmly in a frame, and advertising for high-end brands gains a polished set piece. Weddings and anniversaries get a quiet alternative to a limousine. The car is based in London.
