1989 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL R107. Stunning Low Mileage With Exceptional History.

Description

1989 Mercedes Benz 300 SL. Signal Red with black leather upholstery, black hood and factory hardtop. The R107 300SL, a model celebrated for its grace, refinement and effortless grand touring ability. This particular car carries a remarkable story, having been first delivered in June 1989 to heavyweight boxer, actor and celebrated nightclub proprietor Billy ‘Golden Boy’ Walker during his time living as a tax exile in Jersey. As one of the final-year production cars, it benefits from all the incremental developments made to the W107 series across its long and illustrious life. It remained on the island until 1993, before being acquired by its next owner in 1994 from Stratton of Knutsford with just 7,500 miles covered.
Today the car has covered just 64,000 miles and presents with a pleasing and well-documented service history, including 13 stamps in the book, the most recent at 62,851 miles representing consistent and careful maintenance throughout its life. Numerous supporting invoices accompany the car, detailing quality upkeep over the years, from brake refurbishment and new stainless steel exhaust sections, to a replacement windscreen and comprehensive fuel system renewal. During 2024, further mechanical attention included work to the braking system, steering box overhaul and alternator replacement. The level of investment poured into this SL in recent years amounts not to a few thousand, but to many tens of thousands, ensuring longevity, reliability, and peace of mind for the next custodian.
In March 2025, the car was acquired for the private collection of Anthony Hamilton, father of seven-time Formula One World Champion Lewis Hamilton. Desiring that the car be brought to the highest presentation standard, it was immediately entrusted to specialists for a full professional body restoration and repaint. The engine bay was fastidiously detailed, the original wheels beautifully refurbished, and any additional mechanical or cosmetic work required was carried out without compromise. The result is the beautifully presented, correct, tight and smooth-driving example you see today, a refined SL that feels exactly as Mercedes-Benz intended, with the depth of quality and solidity that defines the marque.
Everything about this car is exactly as it should be. It drives with confidence, poise and effortlessness, with the unmistakable sense of luxury and permanence that only a properly cared for R107 can provide. It is being offered only due to a change in circumstances.
It will be supplied with a fresh MOT for your total reassurance.
This is a rare opportunity to own not just a classic Mercedes, but a superbly restored and carefully curated example with fascinating provenance and recent significant investment. A collector’s SL in every sense.
