3.5L V8 powerplant with 4-speed automatic transmission
The Appeal
Mercedes-Benz arguably developed one of the motoring world's most defining roadsters with the R107. It was big, it was powerful, and it lived and breathed style in every pore - something only boosted by its top-notch build quality. Decades later, this still a highly desirable, enduring classic - the sort of car that acts as a keystone for enthusiasts.
This particular 1980 model stands out with its original silver paintwork and blue interior, offering a genuine and unaltered example of this iconic car. Recently serviced by the legendary SL Shop, this fabulous example of the legendary roadster comes to us in fine, eminently usable condition.
