In the current classic car market, the Mercedes-Benz 300SL (R107) remains one of the most desirable modern classics. Because yours is a 1987 model, it benefits from the post-1985 facelift, which added improved suspension, better brakes and the more refined 3.0-litre straight-six engine — all of which make it more valuable than earlier 280SL models. Of course, value all depends on condition.

Based on recent auction data and dealer listings for March 2026 concours/mint condition cars with low mileage (<30k), full service history, pristine original paint and interior have gone for £45,000 – £65,000.

If your is excellent, very clean, well-maintained and everything works with a mileage of around 60k-80k you'd be looking at between £30,000 – £42,000. Good condition cars with some patina, higher mileages (100k+) and minor cosmetic needs go for around £18,000 to £28,000 while project cars with significant rust that are non-runners or have poor interiors are fetching between £8000 and £12,000.
