Description
The successor to the Pagoda was Model R107. The R107 is the longest-lived of all SL generations with a lifespan of 18 years in production. The model became immensely popular, thanks to Bobby Ewing in Dallas. As in the series drove a Mercedes-Benz R107 from 1989. This was the model's last year of production. The same year, Thituson Bil in Värnamo, Sweden ordered 10 red 300 SLs, with cream-colored leather upholstery. Thituson Bil also chose to furnish these 10 cars with attractive aluminum strips that ran along the sides and over the wheel arches. The cars were then sold for SEK 400,000 each.
We can now present a rare fine example, which is precisely one of these 10 cars.
This Mercedes-Benz 300SL was sold new to Lena Karlsson in Värnamo, Sweden on the 4th of January 1989. Since the car was new, it has only been driven in the summer and stored in a heated garage during the winter. The car is maintained according to service intervals and has never been repainted, except the trunk lid. The observant one, can make out that the 300SL emblem is on the wrong side of the trunk lid. The story of why is both funny and documented. The hardtop is virtually unused and has been stored in packaging for the past 23 years. The convertible top has been replaced with a new original one in 2022.
