Costing £50,800 when new in 1993, (though closer to £60,000 with options), the Mercedes 300SL-24 Valve was more expensive than Jaguar’s XJS V12 (£43,200), Porsche’s 944 S2 Cabrio (£40,904), & Maserati’s Spyder SE (£41,500), yet it represents greater value for money than all of these today despite only having amassed a not-yet-run-in 61,189 miles like our car here….

Offered in Imola Red and contrasted with Pebble leather (close to beige) this is a very capable sports touring car equipped with factory hard-top, alloy wheels, wind-deflector, electric seats, cruise-control, power hood (black), electric windows and mirrors, plus, the all-important 5-Speed automatic gearbox as designated for the 24 Valve 300SL.

This car really is a treat to drive.  Effortlessly capable whilst remaining enormously comfortable, the Mercedes SL is a credible year-round sportscar thanks to the hard-top which many agree actually makes the car look better when in place.  Our car was first sold in England but has most recently resided in Northern Ireland.  It has a fresh MOT granted in N.I and will be freshly serviced on sale for its new owner.

There really has never been greater justification or reason to treat yourself to that little red sports car you’ve always wanted, so don’t hesitate…
