Following the discontinuation of the SLC in September, 1981, the 107 series continued initially as the 280, 380 and 500SL. At this time, the V8 engines were re-tuned for greater efficiency, lost a few hp and consumed less fuel, helped by substantially numerically shorter axle ratios (that went from 3.27:1 to 2.47:1 for the 380 SL and from 2.72:1 to 2.27:1 for the 500 SL). From September, 1985 the 280SL was replaced by a new 300 SL, and the 380 SL by a 420 SL; the 500 SL continued and a 560SL was introduced for certain extra-European markets, most notably the USA. The final R107 SL was built on August 4, 1989. This eighteen-year run makes the 107 series the longest running series produced by Daimler-Benz.

The last 107 made, a 1989 500SL painted Astral Silver, resides in the Mercedes-Benz museum in Stuttgart, Germany.

Unless otherwise stated all of our vehicles are likely to have had paint rectification at some stage during their life.

Every car has the option of open top motoring with a robust - high quality soft top or... when you need to be protected, the SL can be used all year with it's hard top and heated rear window.

Wheels are in superb condition and tyres have plenty of tread left on them.

All our cars carry a full MoT confirming brake performance.

Every vehicle supplied by the SL shop is extensively tested and then serviced. Any obvious faults are rectified and / or documented.

After a short time in an SL you feel completely at home.

Great blend of classic motoring with modern safety features and comfort.

The Interior is in good overall condition for the age of the vehicle.

All items worked when tested unless otherwise stated.

Once again every car we sell is MoT'd at point of acquisition to ensure robust structure.

This car performed very well during our extensive test.

C370 XLO was first registered on the 25/04/1986.

Whilst the early history is missing there is considerable history from recent years including service invoices and MoT certificates.

This car is for sale on behalf of it's owner who has known the car for many years acquiring it from his friend in 2004. The previous keeper had the car from 2000 and knew the previous owner also.

This vehicle could be further enhanced with optional:

Wind deflector
Hard Top stand
Audio upgrades - CD / MP3 / ipod / SAT nav / Alarm

Every SL we stock is realistically priced.

We monitor prices of these cars daily and view around 3 cars per week so we know our examples are the best they can be for the asking price.

Another great value example from THE Mercedes SL specialists.
