The Appeal
The R107 500 SL represents the pinnacle of Mercedes-Benz's celebrated SL roadster lineage, pairing the smooth, torquey 5.0-litre M117 V8 with the refined grand touring character for which the marque became renowned. European-specification examples are particularly sought after among collectors for their cleaner bumper design and higher power output compared to US-market equivalents.
This 1989 example is finished in Black (040) over Palomino leather, a striking combination complemented by a black fabric soft top and matching body-colour hardtop. It is a notably well-specified car, having left the factory with a generous roster of optional equipment - including automatic climate control, ABS, a limited-slip differential, cruise control, orthopaedic front seats, the Becker Mexico cassette radio, and rear seats trimmed in leather. This 500 SL warrants close inspection from any serious R107 enthusiast.500SL R129 (6).jpg4.64 MB
