The Appeal
In the late 1980s for Mercedes-Benz customers who wanted the ultimate blend of quality, comfort and V8 heft there was the R107 SL500. Its silky 5litre motor leans into the effortless, 'lets go to Cannes for the weekend' vibe that makes these cars so enduringly popular.
This SL500 is from the last year of production and attractively finished limited in Almandine Red Metallic. The desirable specification continues with cream leather interior and additional features, such as heated seats and optional rear bench.
Its fantastic bodywork and excellent mechanical condition make it a wonderful drive. Pair that with its new tyres, exhaust, fuel pump and brake pads, and this vehicle becomes an irresistible proposition.
