The Appeal
Celebrated for its enduring design, luxurious interior, and strong performance, the R107 SL enjoyed an eighteen-year production run, first hitting the road in 1971. Here we have a beautifully presented and judiciously maintained 420, dating from 1988.
It distinguishes itself from other SLs because of its truly superb condition, comprehensive service history, and the fact that it has been sparingly enjoyed since its acquisition in 2015.
Complete with an advisory-free MOT valid until May 2024, this SL is ready to be enjoyed by its next custodian.
