this car.
Seven Hills Motorcars is very proud to offer this beautiful 1992
Mercedes Benz 300SL in fantastic condition with only 53,785
original miles and with both the soft-top and factory hardtop. It
looks spectacular, runs great, and is an excellent driver. The
Mercedes is finished in the beautiful and highly desirable color
combination of Signal Red (568) over Palomino Leather (274)
interior with a Black (740) soft top. This is also the correct and
original color scheme, verified by the codes in the vehicle data
card that is still with the car and pictured below. The other
original manuals, books, 2 keys fob remotes, the standard key,
Mercedes tools in the tool roll, Mercedes first-aid kit, jack, and
spare (with matching chrome rim) are also still with the car. The
low original mileage is also verified not only by the condition of
the car, but also by the clear Ohio title, pictured in this ad,
showing the mileage as "Actual."
We have recently put about 30 miles on this 300SL. During that time
the car was completely reliable, had no issues at all, and was a
true pleasure to drive.
There is a copy of the AutoCheck report in this ad. The report is
totally clean, shows no accident history, and verifies the low
mileage. Many in the classic car industry are saying that this body
style Mercedes SL, the R129, is the next classic generation of
Mercedes that is starting going up in value. One could easily buy
this car now and sell it for more than the purchase price in years
to come. Please peruse all of the photos, video, list of options,
and other information in this ad to get a true sense of how clean
and nice this 300SL really is.
As a side note, this Mercedes is not a dealer auction vehicle. We
hand pick each car after careful inspection. Our classics come from
owners who expect their cars to go to someone that will give the
vehicle the same care and attention as they did. We invite and
encourage you to examine the car in person or have the car
inspected. Please take the time to scrutinize each picture. We
photograph each vehicle to the greatest extent so you can feel
confident about your purchase. If you have a question about the
300SL, just give us a call.
Exterior
The Signal Red (568) exterior is in excellent condition. As one can
see in the photos, the paint has a brilliant gloss, deep shine, and
smooth finish. Both doors open and shut nicely; it has that solid
Mercedes touch and feels like a vault door closing. The alloy
wheels are in great shape with a brilliant finish and no curb rash.
The Michelin tires have plenty of tread left and are correctly
sized 225/55R16. There are no major imperfections that have been
intentionally excluded from the photos. As one would expect from a
paintjob with many years on it there are some very small blemishes
around that are too tiny so show up in the photos, but nothing that
is really noticeable from about five feet away. This Mercedes has
no rust issues. As one can see in the many photos of the underside,
this 300SL is very clean underneath. We have also included specific
photos of the rockers, lower front and rear quarter panels, and
other areas on the car most prone to rust to show how nice it
looks.
Interior
The Palomino Leather (274) interior of the 300SL looks absolutely
fantastic. All of the gauge faces are crisp and clean and the
lenses are clear. The dash is in excellent condition with no
cracks, fading, or sun fading. The original door panels look
wonderful with no cracks or splits, and both door pulls are solid.
The seats look just as nice in person as they do in the photos.
There is a spot of wear in the typical spot on the bolster where
the driver gets in and out. The carpet looks great with no stains,
rips, or holes. The Black (740) convertible soft-top is in great
condition with no holes or frayed edges. The rear windows are clear
with no yellowing. The car still retains its original radio. Most
importantly the dash has never been cut or modified for an
aftermarket installation. This car has never been smoked in; there
is no aroma of cigarettes what so ever and no burn marks. The trunk
is very clean and nicely detailed with the original Mercedes tool
roll, wind deflector, jack, spare tire, and matching chrome
rim.
The excellent condition of this all original interior is a huge
testament to the meticulous care and attention this Mercedes has
received throughout its life and another great verification of the
low original mileage.
Mechanical
This 300SL appears to be in very nice mechanical condition and it
is ready to be enjoyed. As stated above we have recently put about
30 miles on this car with absolutely no problems. The engine starts
right away every time and idles well. It is an exceptional driver
that feels great on the road and at highway speeds. In the video
one can observe the car accelerating on the highway up to about
70mph, shifting through all the gears, braking to a stoplight, and
going through some curves. Please note that it runs great, there
are no strange noises or vibrations, and the car performs quite
nice overall. The brakes are responsive and do not pull to one side
or the other. There is no blue smoke when starting or driving the
car. It runs cool and does not overheat. The gauge shows that the
engine makes great oil pressure. Also, the engine bay is clean,
nicely detailed, and correct as one can see from the photos.
Please note in the video the dash warning lights; they light up
when the key is first turned on and then go off when the engine is
started just as they should. There are no "check engine" lights
that stay on. The horn works as do the fog lights, headlights,
brights, turn signals, interior lights, indicators, dash gauges
lights, wipers, rear window defroster, both key fob remotes, power
mirrors in all directions, power locks, and power antenna. The a/c
works and blows cold. The power convertible top works properly and
the entire operation of raising and lowering the automatic power
top can be viewed in the video in this ad. All of the gauges work
and the clock keeps time. The car will drip a little blue fluid if
it sits for a long period of time. This inline six is one of the
best engines Mercedes has ever produced. Not enough can be said as
to how much of a pleasure it is to drive this car, especially with
the top down on a beautiful day.
Overall Condition
Overall, this 1992 300SL is in excellent condition and is a true
bargain at our asking price. This car is a premium example; it is
very clean with low miles and a clear AutoCheck history with no
accidents. This Mercedes is a great value and will only appreciate
over time. Someone could easily enjoy this vehicle for several
years and sell it for more than the purchase price with minimal
effort.
Other sellers are not taking the time to show the car is in such
great detail to give you all of the options codes, photos, and
video. This information is very valuable and important for pricing.
Any perspective buyer, for any of our vehicles or from other
sellers, should ask for all this information before he or she makes
a purchase.
Thank you for looking and please do not hesitate to email or call
with any questions.
