BBS-type alloy wheels with Pirelli Cinturato tyres
Several Mercedes-Benz invoices for genuine parts
The Appeal
It was the car that many aspired to throughout the 1980s. The R107 SL was the ultimate fashion accessory of its day, not to mention a beautifully engineered vehicle, ideal for long-distance grand touring.
For the UK market, the 5.0-litre 500 SL was the cream of the crop, and here we have an attractive example in Classic White over Blue leather, complete with the desirable rear seat option. Offered in good overall condition and complete with current MOT, this is a fantastic opportunity to acquire one of the 1980s' best convertible grand tourers.image.png1.74 MB
