Sold under the SL model names, the R107 replaced the W113 SL Class in 1972 which was in turn replaced by the R129 SL Class in 1989. The SL variant was a two-seat convertible/roadster with standard soft top and hardtop and optional folding seats for the rear bench. Volume production of the first SL started in April 1971 alongside the last of the W113 cars. The SL roadster has since become the epitome of what a luxury roadster should look like and can be found from Aberdeen to Antibes and indeed in every corner of the earth and wherever the jet-set congregate.

2006 Smart Fortwo Convertible Brabus Red Edition Transmission: manual Mileage: 57287The Smart design concept began at Mercedes-Benz in the early 70s and late 80s. After brief backing by Volkswagen, the first model was released by Daimler-Benz in October 1998. Several variants on the original design have been introduced, with the original being the ‘Fortwo’. The car launched successfully in nine European countries. Smart derives from cooperation with Swatch and Mercedes-Benz: Swatch Mercedes ART. The Smart Brabus Edition Red was a limited edition produced in September 2006; of only 50 cars produced, 35 were coupés and 15 were cabriolet versions. The paintwork was especially done in Intense Red and the interior colours were duly matched with usual Brabus upgrades.Designed on the base of the Fortwo Brabus, this limited edition example can be distinguished by its bright Intense Red colour and is powered by a 75bhp, 3-cylinder turbo charged engine, with a top speed of 150km/h, unlike the other Fortwo cars that were traditionally restricted to 135km/h. The passenger compartment has seats and door linings in Alcantara leather and red top stitching, the speedometer, clock and turbo pressure gauge have the same red surrounds and the dashboard is covered in black Alcantara. Other than that, the car shares the major elements of the Brabus versions, such as the twin exhaust, 16” monoblock alloys and various accessories to assist the passengers such as air conditioning and paddle shift steering wheel.This Fortwo Brabus Red Edition has been part of a private collection for some time and is presented in very good condition throughout. Showing a mere 57,287 on the odometer, this Brabus comes with a history file including old MoT test certificates and the current V5 registration document.

1992 Mercedes-Benz 600 SEL Transmission: automatic Mileage: 25800The Mercedes-Benz S-Class represented a classification officially introduced in 1972 with the W116. The S-Class has served as the flagship model for Mercedes for over fifty years in its various incarnations debuting many of the company's latest innovations including drive-train technologies, interior features, and safety systems such as the first seatbelt pre-tensioners. The term stems from the German abbreviation 'S-Klasse', for 'Sonderklasse' , meaning 'special class' and in automotive terms refers to 'a specially outfitted car'. In 1991, the W140 series replaced the W126 in the Mercedes-Benz line-up and saw the S-Class grow in its proportions; more technology and features were added due to product evolution and through competition. Innovations were introduced such as double-pane window glazing, self-closing boot lid/doors, electric windows with a jam-protection feature and a heating system which emitted warm air while residual energy was available after the engine was turned off.This absolutely superb example is presented in Metallic Nautical Blue with cream leather interior. This Mercedes-Benz was delivered new to the Embassy of Qatar for the personal use of His Highness Sheikh Khalifa Bin Hamad Al-Thani. Apart from the usual luxury items that the factory bestowed upon such vehicles, this particular car was lavished with electrically operated privacy curtains in the rear of the car, electrically operated picnic tables for the rear passengers and electric rear seats offering more comfort for His Highness. The car comes with two sets of keys, its Mercedes-Benz data card, full book pack, original sales invoice to the Embassy and a letter of provenance showing the name of the first owner. This is one of the finest examples of this top of the range Mercedes-Benz of its era on the market today and having covered a mere 25,800 km from new, it represents fantastic value for money considering its original sale price.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

2011 Mercedes-Benz E250 AMG Sport Convertible Transmission: manual Mileage: 76203Historically, the E-Class is Mercedes-Benz' best-selling model, with more than 13 million sold by 2015. The first E-Class series was originally available as a four-door saloon, five-door estate, two-door coupé and two-door convertible. From 1997 to 2009, the equivalent coupé and convertible were sold under the Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class nameplate which was actually based on the mechanical underpinnings of the smaller C-Class while borrowing the styling and some power trains from the E-Class. A trend continued with the C207 E-Class coupé/convertible which was sold parallel to the W212 E-Class saloon and estate models. With the latest incarnation of the E-Class released for the 2017 model year, all body styles share the same W213 platform.The coupé (C207) was first shown at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show, while the convertible (A207) was unveiled at the 2010 North American International Auto Show.This lovely example is presented in Metallic Grey with black leather interior.

2001 Mercedes-Benz S320 L Transmission: automatic Mileage: 21000The Mercedes-Benz S-Class is a luxury saloon and was officially introduced in 1972 with the W116 S-Class which succeeded previous Mercedes-Benz models dating back to the mid 1950s. As the flagship of the Mercedes-Benz line-up, the S-Class has debuted many of the company's latest innovations, including drivetrain technologies, interior features, and safety systems such as seatbelt pretensioners. The W220 S-Class was completely restyled in 1999 with a body that was slightly smaller and lighter than its predecessor. Production of the W220 S-Class totalled 485,000 units; slightly more than the production totals of its predecessor. As with each new S-Class, the W220 brought in new innovations such as Airmatic air suspension and Active Ventilated Seats which used miniature fans in the seats to move air through perforations. Mercedes-Benz traditionally introduced its safety innovations in the S-Class; for instance, the model was the first car in Europe to incorporate airbags. S-Class safety features included innovations in active safety (accident avoidance) including ABS braking in 1978, traction control and Electronic Stability Program (ESP). Passive safety features included crumple zones in 1957, three-point seatbelts in 1965, collapsible steering column and strengthened occupant cell, resulting in better protection during heavy impacts.This absolutely superb example was delivered new to the late Emir of Qatar, His Highness Sheikh Khalifa Bin Hamad Al-Thani and is in exemplary condition throughout. It is presented in Obsidian Black with grey leather interior and is left hand drive. Its smooth V6 3.2 litre engine has had a gentle life, only covering a mere 21,000 kms of chauffeured driving! It is laden with all the usual Mercedes-Benz luxuries such as electric seats, walnut wood, centrally mounted analogue television in the rear (currently disconnected), climate control and air conditioning. This fabulous example wants for nothing and comes with a letter of provenance, a V5C registration document, service book (in German) and an owner’s manual. With two owners from new, interesting history and in amazing condition, this is surely one of the finest S Class Mercedes-Benz on the market today.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1972 Mercedes-Benz 280 SEL (3.5 litre) Transmission: automatic Mileage: 28850The Mercedes-Benz W108 and W109 were luxury cars produced from 1965 through to 1972 and 1973 in North America only. The line was an update of the predecessor W111 and W112 fintail saloon. The W108 models were the 280S and 280SE, with production starting in November 1967. These replaced the 250S, 250SE and 300SE, however production of export-designated 250S would continue until March 1969. In January 1968, the model line was joined by yet another car, the 280SEL. The car had the longer wheelbase of the W109, but lacked the expensive and problematic pneumatic suspension and other features of the 300SEL. Hence the chassis code remained W108.Imported from Japan, this lovely very original example is presented in black with grey interior which is half cloth and half MB-Tex. Its smooth and rare 3.5 litre V8 is mated to an automatic gearbox and with its sprung suspension, this model is one of the most desirable for the discerning collector. These luxury saloons were the choice of Embassies and Royalty around the world and were a delight to drive, performing well on those long journeys which ate up the miles effortlessly and in comfort. This particular car us showing a mere 28,850km (17,926 miles) on the odometer.

1971 Mercedes-Benz 230 SL Pagoda Transmission: automatic Mileage: 67526The Mercedes-Benz W113 roadsters, designed by Paul Bracq, were produced from 1963 through to 1971 and were known as the 'pagoda roof' SL. All models boast an inline six-cylinder engine with multi-port fuel injection. Rear-wheel drive configuration was complemented by independent rear suspension, a feature that greatly improved road handling. The 230 SL made a remarkable debut at the prestigious Geneva Motor Show in March 1963 where the famous German engineer Fritz Nallinger introduced it as follows It was our aim to create a very safe and fast sports car with high performance which, despite its sports characteristics, provides a very high degree of travelling comfort.This late Mercedes-Benz Pagoda example was originally registered in 1971 and is offered from a deceased estate. The beautiful car you see here today is the, nearly finished, culmination of the late owner’s restoration programme undertaken during his 17 year tenure of this stunning car. The recent paintwork is excellent as is the new carpeting and delightful retrimming of the interior. The matching blue hood is new and complements the high quality of the works undertaken. The car is accompanied by an impressive list of parts which we are informed should complete the restoration, this includes front grille, headlights with chrome surrounds, side glass, various rubber trims, badging and chrome work. At some point in the cars history it was fitted with a 2778cc Mercedes-Benz engine, this change is recorded on the V5C registration document which is present. Although the car runs, we are advised that the engine and brakes will need some attention to be fully roadworthy. Viewing is highly recommended; this desirable right hand drive automatic version is offered to auction at what can only be considered an extremely realistic price. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1987 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Transmission: automatic Mileage: 37847The Mercedes-Benz R107 SL model was launched in 1971 and continued a tradition of two-door sports tourers from the world famous German manufacturer that dates back to 1954. The car featured a two-door monocoque bodyshell with independent all-round suspension. The success and popularity of the model is borne out by the 237,287 units that were produced during the cars impressive 18 year build run.This stunning example was purchased by our vendors father on 1st August 1987 from Greyfords Mercedes-Benz in Tooting High Street, London. Presented as it is today in metallic Nautic Blue with cream leather trim and the optional rear seats. Offered in understandably fabulous condition throughout, this car was serviced by Mercedes-Benz main dealers 12 times until 2005, at which point the car had covered 37,482 miles and it was retired to the garage to be run on sunny weekends only and kept as an investment for his children. More recently a local garage has taken care of regular servicing, the last we have found to be in 2019 when the car benefitted from a new fuel pump, filter injectors and full service alongside the MoT test certificate. This year the same garage has performed the new MoT test certificate which is valid until February 2022 and replaced the battery ready for a new owner. Inside the car there are no signs of cracks to the dashboard and the wood is in very good order, found next to the original stereo is even the original Becker demonstration cassette!

This is the highest domestic armoury which can be bestowed upon a vehicle without it being military, used mainly by Heads of State and similar VIP status individuals worldwide. This Mercedes-Benz is presented in dark metallic blue with cream leather and Alcantara interior, both of which are in exemplary condition. The interior was equipped to the Emir’s specific requirement with added features such as telephones fitted to front and rear, centrally mounted television in the rear, picnic tables situated on the back of the driver’s and passenger’s seats in walnut, two seats in the rear and curtains to the rear and side windows.

1985 Mercedes-Benz 500SL Transmission: automatic Mileage: 96665The Mercedes-Benz SL class has been manufactured since 1954. The designation SL derives from the German 'Sport Leicht' or 'Sport Light' and was first applied to the 300SL 'Gullwing,' named after the upward-opening doors. The term SL-Class refers to the marketing variations of the vehicle, including the numerous engine configurations spanning five design generations. The Mercedes-Benz R107 and C107 cars were produced from 1971 through to 1989, being the second longest single series ever produced by Mercedes-Benz after the G-Class. The R107 took the chassis components of the mid-size W114 model and mated them to the larger engines from the S-Class (W116) and has become a benchmark of quality throughout the years.This wonderful example showing 96,665 on the odometer is presented in its original colour of Diamontblau Metallic over a contrasting beige leather interior. It has been treated to much restoration work in recent years including an extensive respray returning the car to its original colour, a full leather interior renovation using the original hide, reconditioned OEM wheels, as well as various other works. Showing very little sign of age, the paintwork, interior, and hood are all presented in excellent condition as is the engine bay which is very clean. Accompanying the 500SL is a sizeable history file detailing the restoration, many old MoT test certificates, photographic records of the restoration, many sundry invoices, and the V5C Registration document.

1972 Mercedes-Benz 350SL Transmission: manual Mileage: 149764The Mercedes R107 was launched in 1971 and production continued through to 1989 - a hefty 18 years; the longest single series ever produced by the firm besides the G-Class utility vehicle. The R107 replaced the W113 Pagoda SL in 1972 and was replaced by the R29 SL in 1989. Some 237,000 R107 SL's were built and about two thirds were sold in the U.S. The car was essentially a two-seater sports car although a small seating arrangement was available behind the front seats. Mercedes-Benz offered a number of engine choices over the years, the first cars in 1971 being fitted with the 350 engine, a V8 3.5-litre unit. By 1973 a larger 4.5-litre, V8 was available, constructed primarily for the U.S. market. The SL Roadster has since become the epitome of how a luxury roadster should look and is as popular today as when first launched.This lovely example was first registered on 10th February 1972 and is presented in the rare colour combination of aqua blue over a deep blue leather interior. Offered with what many would consider to be the best combination for an R107 Mercedes, a 3.5 litre engine mated to a manual gearbox with the rare jump seats at the rear.The vendor reports that this 350SL is in good order throughout, treated to a restoration some time ago the chrome work presents well and shows little sign of age, as does the paintwork which is in fine order.

1979 Mercedes-Benz 450 SL Transmission: automatic Mileage: 63200Introduced early in 1971, this impressive two-seater sports car replaced the 280SL. The body and chassis of the third generation Mercedes-Benz SL was considerably heavier and longer than its predecessor but still showed a resemblance to them. The 3.5 litre, V8 engine underwent slight modifications to those being used on other models and the gear shift lever was placed on the floor in the centre of the car. The standard transmission provided a top speed of 130mph and a very respectable 0-62mph in 8.8 seconds. As with the previous generation SL's, the vehicle came as an open roadster with removable hardtop and went on to become one of the longest running styles from Mercedes-Benz. A range of engine size were available, one of the more powerful and rarer was the 4.5 litre unit.This genuine unrestored example of the very desirable V8 powered 450 SL is presented in special order Mercedes-Benz silver green (861) with black leather trim. A car with just three previous keepers, our vendor purchased the car some seven years ago from the previous custodian of 23 years. We are informed the paintwork is factory original as is the hood and hardtop and the car sits on the desirable Mexican hat alloy wheels. The mileage is backed up by countless MoT certificates in an impressive history file which boasts a near full service history, much from renowned specialists John Haynes Mercedes-Benz in West Sussex. The original and unused spare wheel is found in the boot which is testament to such an original and unrestored car in fabulous order throughout.

1983 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL Transmission: automatic Mileage: 34176The Mercedes-Benz SL (Sport Leicht) has been in production since 1954. This second generation evolved from the 230SL to 250SL, finally becoming the 280SL. The SL improved through the years with technical innovation but still managed to keep its fundamental character and identity of an up-market, quality sports car. Its reputation went from strength to strength and it was rare to see an episode of Dallas or Dynasty in the 1980's without an SL making a star appearance. The impressive soft-top mechanism which folds down out of sight under a panel ahead of the boot lid gave the car a beautifully sleek, uncluttered appearance.This early version of the iconic Mercedes-Benz R107 roadster was registered in 1983 and shows only 34,176 miles on the clock. The history file contains a fully documented service and maintenance record with works completed by Mercedes-Benz authorised dealers and most recently marque specialist John Haynes. Also present is an impressive MoT test history with every certificate dating back to 1988.The current MoT test certificate is valid until February 2022. This Mercedes-Benz presents well in light ivory and a classic cream check interior and is fitted with a factory hardtop, a tracking system and fire extinguisher. Offered to auction with its original manuals and handbooks and a V5C registration document this wonderful low mileage example should be considered a sound investment given the current prices and popularity of the model.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1969 Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL Transmission: automatic Mileage: 67595The Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL 6.3 began as a private venture by Mercedes-Benz employee Erich Waxenberger in 1966. The idea of placing a large powerful sports car engine in a saloon is still very popular today as can be seen with the current Mercedes-Benz range; indeed, the 6.3 capacity V8 engine is still in use today, albeit many generations on from the W 109 SEL. Waxenberger's theory was simple - take the powerful 6.3 litre V8 Mercedes-Benz M100 engine from the luxurious Mercedes-Benz 600 Limousine and fit it into the regular Mercedes-Benz W 109 S-Class model which, at the time, only had six-cylinder engines. The result was a nearly two-tonne saloon with performance similar to the most prestigious sports cars of the era. This right hand drive 300 SEL was manufactured in 1969 and imported from Australia in 2016.The vendor purchased this rare Mercedes in September 2018 following an interior refurbishment the previous year. During his tenure this handsome Mercedes has benefitted from renovation work to the radiator, water pump and cooling system. A total of £16,000 has been spent on the car in the last 4 years. A recent mechanical appraisal has unfortunately identified a burnt out starter motor and the requirement of a new head gasket. Due to a change in circumstance the owner has decided not to proceed with the works and has reluctantly entered the car for auction. Presented for sale with a UK V5C registration document and offered without reserve. A delight to drive, these luxury saloons were the choice of Embassies and Royalty around the world and, with reasonable expenditure, this Mercedes could be enjoyed once more.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1990 Jaguar XJS Convertible Transmission: automatic Mileage: 88150The XJS convertible, which first appeared in 1988 at a price of £36,000, was considerably more than merely a coupé with the roof removed. The earlier 'T-top' Cabriolet paved the way as the first open Jaguar since the departure of the E-Type in 1975, but this was to be the first full convertible and a strengthened sub-frame was employed in order to alleviate scuttle shake. It looked superb and elegant with the hood erect or folded and finally met the demands of the highly valued North American market. Retaining the roomy cockpit space of the coupé, the new convertible boasted a useful shelf for extra luggage and all the expected Jaguar refinements as standard. The XJS's superb 5.3 litre engine developed some 295bhp in later fuel injected form and, even when allied to an automatic transmission, the car was capable of a genuine 150mph. It made for a very fine open-top 'Grand Touring' car, exceeding the specification of other home-grown machinery and being much cheaper than the equivalent high profile Mercedes SL.This lovely 1990 Jaguar XJS convertible is showing 88,150 miles on the odometer and is finished in the wonderful colour combination of Bordeaux Red metallic over a contrasting Magnolia interior and comes complete with Lattice alloy wheels. Offered in good order throughout, this Jaguar has been treated to much maintenance work during the vendors tenure including various services and an extensive refresh to the paintwork. The paintwork retains a deep shine and the interior is presented very nicely. Offered from 19 years of single private ownership this XJS has been owned by just two families from new and comes with a sizeable history file detailing its past. Included in the file are many previous MoT test certificates, maintenance invoices, a V5 registration document, a current MoT test certificate valid until July 2021 and the original service and workshop booklets. Also present is the original toolkit and the spare wheel. A nicely presented example of the flagship 5.3 litre V12 XJS which has established itself as a most worthy, latter-day, classic.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale. Accordingly, buyers are on notice that each vehicle is offered ‘as is/as seen’ subject to the Terms and Conditions for the auction.

2005 Mercedes-Benz C55 AMG Transmission: automatic Mileage: 43677The C55 signified a return to AMG’s V8 roots, after barely a three-year flirtation with a supercharged V6. AMG found 8,100 homes for the C32, but the AMG engineers seemed much happier when there was a serious, big-capacity, naturally aspirated 5.4 litre V8 powering the meatiest C-Class and the badge was there too – just to ensure the owners didn’t forget. It wasn’t the performance; AMG claimed 5.2 seconds to 62mph for both C55 and C32, or even the transformation to a deep, wonderfully muscular exhaust note, but the makeover in the dynamics that stood the new sports saloon apart. The C55 marked a small, but perceptible, shift towards a sharper, more sporting focus, that set it closer to the M3 than any previous AMG hotrod C-Class.This example of this rare brute of a car with very low mileage is presented in silver with black leather interior and was imported by our vendor, a modern classic collector, in 2020 from Japan. Importantly, it comes with a full history file with no less than 17 service stamps, the last under 500 miles ago. UK registered, it is offered with a V5C and MoT until January 2022 and with the values of the earlier Cosworth-inspired super sports Mercedes rocketing well into six figures, this pure-blood AMG super saloon in the lightweight C-Class bodyshell is already a collectible and this is one of the very best we have seen.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale. Accordingly, buyers are on notice that each vehicle is offered ‘as is/as seen’ subject to the Terms and Conditions for the auction.

1991 Mercedes-Benz 500SL-32 Roadster Transmission: automatic Mileage: 79490These incredibly accomplished, five litre sportscars represent a truly advanced way to travel. Stuttgart supplied these grand-tourers with high levels of comfort including a fabric convertible top as well as a colour-matched and manually detachable hardtop that could be fitted over the stored fabric convertible roof. Other advancements included an electronically controlled damping and the famous hidden, automatically extending roll-over bar. Electric mirrors, seats and windows combined with acres of leather and wood make for a very satisfying place to travel in.Presented in classic burgundy with a black leather interior, unmarked split-rim alloy wheels and Falken high-performance tyres, this example has remained in the vendor’s ownership for over 17 years. The mileage is relatively low and servicing has been maintained until 2012 with the last by well-respected Mercedes-Benz specialists, SS Motors of Weybridge, Surrey. In addition, a fresh MoT test certificate and light service will accompany this lot. The three-memory seat program works well as does the air conditioning. With just two previous recorded owners, a full Mercedes-Benz book pack, original JVC stereo and CD changer and functioning factory alarm, this represents a solid, well-cared for example that ticks all boxes for the forthcoming Covid-free summer...Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.
