Description
We are pleased to offer for sale this magnificent Mercedes SL 500 R107 version.
This roadster model is the worthy successor to the Mercedes "Pagoda" and was a genuine commercial success for the manufacturer, which produced it for 18 years.
This 500 version is truly the flagship of the range with its 5-litre V8 engine in light alloy developing 231 horsepower.
The car we are presenting dates from 1983 and was in Malta until 2019, a Mediterranean island with a mild and dry climate. As a result, the car's chassis is free from corrosion. It has covered only 99, 200 km in 43 years as its main territory until its importation to France in 2019 was relatively limited (27 km by 14 km).
The previous owner, a meticulous collector, had a complete respray carried out in 2024 (as it was worn and dulled by the sun), replaced all four tyres as well as the soft top.
The rubber bumper stops are also new, as are the headlights and fog lights.
He also replaced the exhaust system with a new stainless steel one that releases the melodies of this beautiful V8 in a very tuneful manner.
The interior trim is in excellent condition.
This SL 500 is fortunate to have ABS, heated seats, air conditioning (a rare option on this model) and cruise control.
It is now seeking a new owner to continue its story with them.
