This 1986 Mercedes-Benz 300SL was originally a German-market example that was sold into a Japanese collection. The current owner purchased the car in 2024 and imported it to the United States. This R107 is finished in Black Pearl Metallic (199) over Red Leather and is powered by a 3.0L M103 inline-6 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels. Equipment includes a paint-matched removable hardtop with electric defrost, folding soft top, automatic climate control with A/C, power windows and cruise control. Additionally, modifications include a leather wrapped dashboard and center console, a Momo steering wheel, 16” AMG Penta wheels, and an AMG-style muffler. The seller notes recent services to include a fuel service, A/C service, and oil service under their care. This 300SL now shows 8k kilometers (~5k miles) and is offered for sale with importation documents, recent service records, and a clean Texas title in the owner’s name. 

The exterior is finished in Black Pearl Metallic (199) with chrome trim along the beltline, windows, and hardtop. European-market glass headlamps and bumpers are shown on the car and remain in good condition with no notable flaws. Included is a paint-matched removable hardtop with a heated rear window. Both door mirrors also include heated glass with the passenger side being power adjustable. The black soft top shows well and the rear window remains clear. Detailed photos of the body and paint can be seen in the gallery below. 

The car wears 16” AMG Penta wheels painted in matching Black Pearl Metallic (199) and accented with machined lips. The wheels wear Toyo tires measuring 205/55 and 245/45 front to rear with 2023 date codes. Braking is handled by discs behind each wheel. 

The cabin, while originally finished in Medium Red Leather (277), has been retrimmed in a more vibrant Red Leather and highlights a black leather-wrapped dashboard. Original Burl wood veneer remains present in good condition. Features include an aftermarket Momo steering wheel, automatic climate control, power windows, cruise control and an outside temperature indicator mounted in the dash. The seller notes the radio turns on automatically when the car is started but can be turned off if desired. All electrical systems and functions operate as intended including the automatic climate control, air conditioning, and hardtop defrost. 

The Momo steering wheel frames white-dialed instrumentation including a 300-km/h speedometer which also houses the analogue odometer reading 8k kilometers (~5k miles). Other gauges include a tachometer, fuel level indicator, fuel economy indicator, oil pressure, coolant temperature and an analogue clock. Below sit a row of warning lights alongside the controls for the resettable trip odometer. 

This 300SL is powered by a 3.0-liter M103 inline-six which produced 185 horsepower and 191 lb-ft of torque when new. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 722.3 4-speed automatic. The seller notes recent services to include a fuel service, A/C service, and oil service under their care. The underbody presents very clean with photos provided in the gallery.
