1988 Mercedes 300SL Face Lift Model.
Built during the penultimate year of production to order number 0853732486 for the UK market, chassis 090598 was finished in the stunning combination of Astral Silver Metallic with Medium Red / Burgundy leather upholstery. Additionally specified with a Black soft-top, outside temperature indicator, electric windows and rear seats, the Mercedes-Benz was supplied new to W. Russell Esq by Bargate Motors of Boston, Lincs. The latter continued to maintain the 300SL up until 25,526 miles on 15th October 1996. Acquired by the renowned London advertising agency Abbott Mead Vickers the following June, the 2+2-seater was entrusted to main agents Malaya Bromley and Alan Day for servicing during their tenure. Passing to its current registered keeper in 2002, she continued the trend with Mercedes-Benz Bromley adding the last of eleven main dealer stamps at 60,224 miles (plus the PDI). Looked after by local garages thereafter, the 300SL is warranted to have covered a modest 75,000 miles from new. Totalling almost £29,000, ‘F343 RVL’ has recently benefited from a through brake overhaul (new front callipers / pads / sensors, rear pads / handbrake pads), localised paintwork improvement (boot area, hardtop, lower front wing etc), front suspension fettling (strip down, new dampers), headlamp restoration, nickel plated wheel nuts, new centre caps, engine bay / underside detailing, refurbished alloys and fresh tyres etc. Notably well-preserved, the interior retains its period Blaupunkt Toronto stereo. Three keys are present and the history file extends to two folders. Deemed to ‘look stunning and drive great’, this desirable 300 SL is worthy of close inspection.
