West Coast Classics are proud to present an absolutely exceptional
example of this rare 1991 Mercedes-Benz 300SL 24 valve 3.0L 6
cylinder roadster with only 13K original miles in the highly
desirable and striking color combination of original factory
'Signal Red' color paint with a Palomino leather interior, a Black
power soft top and matching factory 'Signal Red' hard top and is a
rare US import! For 1991, the 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. New for this year was the Adaptive Damping System
(ADS).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
always garaged since new with no accidents and with the original
and beautiful 'Signal Red' color factory color paint still in
absolutely exceptional condition. The original 'Palomino' 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' Black 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 and has had no accidents and
has a clean CARFAX report 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! You
will look long and hard to find a lower mileage example in anywhere
close to this condition of this rare 300SL model or as well
maintained and beautiful and always garaged an example in this very
striking color combination available anywhere else!
