Mercedes-Benz 300SL was powered by a 24-valve dual-overhead cam
six-cylinder engine displacing 180.8 cubic-inches and offering
nearly 230 horsepower. The 300SL came with either a five-speed
manual gearbox as standard or an optional five-speed automatic.
Disc brakes could be found in both the front and rear.After nearly
two decades, the 560SL was replaced by the 300SL and 500SL in 1990
with the new R129 series. These new rear-wheel drive two-seater
coupe/roadsters rode on a short and sporty wheelbase and came with
both a folding top and removable aluminum hardtop. There were
airbags installed on both the drivers and passenger's side. Both
luxurious and sporty, the 300SL could race from zero-to-sixty in
about 9 seconds. This particular example was sold new on 5/15/1990
to its original and only southern California family owner at
'Caliber Motors', the Mercedes-Benz dealership of Anaheim Hills, CA
and was always garaged with no accidents and has always been
serviced and maintained at primarily Mercedes dealerships or
independent specialists since new. Originally serviced under
warranty at 'Caliber Motors; and then at 'VIP Motor Cars', the only
authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer in the Coachella Valley, Palm
Springs, CA; then for many years at 'Linos Mercedes Service' of
Palm Desert, CA and in recent years it has been serviced at the
'AutoBahn Garage' of Indio, CA where it was last serviced at 25,096
miles in 3/2018 (earlier this month). The car boasts every service
record since new and a clean Carfax report confirming it's
originality.The original and beautiful 'Smoke Silver Metallic'
color factory color paint is still in absolutely exceptional
condition. The original 'Creme Beige' leather seats are also in
absolutely beautiful condition with virtually no signs of any wear
as is the original dashboard and wood veneer interior - obviously
always garaged from the elements! The car has its original factory
'German canvas' Dark Brown color power soft top which is still as
new and has hardly ever seen the light of day with a very clear
rear plastic window and the car has it's original and also factory
correct m atching color hard top.This is a beautifully kept and
maintained car which has had no accidents and looks and drives
exactly like such a well maintained and serviced very low original
mileage Mercedes should and must be seen and driven to be truly
appreciated! The car will be sold with it's original thick file of
service records showing that at no time was any expense spared on
this particular vehicles preventive maintenance - literally every
conceivable component or part has been replaced or repaired as
required. Every option is working as it should including all the
power options.You will look long and hard to find a lower mileage
example in anywhere close to this condition of this well maintained
and beautiful and always garaged 1990 Mercedes-Benz 300SL in this
very striking color combination available anywhere else - it is
virtually as new with a new car smell to boot!
