The Mercedes-Benz R107 and C107 were produced by Mercedes-Benz from 1971 until 1989, being the second longest single series ever produced by the automaker after the G-Class. They were badged accordingly, indicating the displacement of the engines. The R107/ SL was a two-seat convertible with a detachable roof. It replaced the W113 SL-Class in 1971 and was replaced by the R129 SL-Class in 1989.
Launched in 1985, the 300SL was the ultimate incarnation of the updated R107 and was available for only four years, with a mere c. 13, 443 built globally, making them a rarity in right-hand drive. Powered by a 2, 962cc straight-six engine producing 185bhp at 5, 700rpm and 188lb/ ft of torque at 4, 400rpm, it was sufficient output to endow this open-topped Mercedes-Benz with rapid acceleration and a published top speed of 130mph. When fitted, a matching hardtop helped ensure the occupants kept warm and snug on winter days, making the SL a comfortable proposition as an all season daily driver.
