A fantastically rare find, a very high specification ‘late’ R107 showing all the hallmarks of being a Mercedes-Benz Press Car.
This 1985 500SL features Cruise Control, Becker Premium Audio System, ABS, Heated Leather Front Seats, Additional Rear Seats (Leather) and rear spoiler.. in short this is a ‘tick all the boxes’ special order car.
Interestingly this is a 1985 car when the final incarnation of the R107 arrived in 1986. The specification of this car is huge.
Amongst the standard options this particular car also has Becker Premium Audio System, Heated Leather Front Seats, Rear Seats (also Leather), Outside Temp Gauge, Airbag, Air Conditioning.. in short this is a ‘tick all the boxes’ special order car.
The list price of a 500SL back then was £41,700 – this car had a total price with options of £46,838, or £123,554 in today’s money.
Essentially, this is one of the most expensive 500SLs we have come across.
We do not know of many cars that have come to us showing NOTE FOR SPECIAL EQUIPMENT (PRESS VEHICLES) within the datacard, making this a rather special SL.

I have followed SLSHOP with interest for some years now and recently took the plunge and purchased my dream car – they did not disappoint!
The whole experience from start to finish was superb. Their communication was excellent and they kept me
informed every step of the way. Thank you and I look forward to my next purchase!

I have just purchased a 280SL from SLSHOP. I have already purchased several parts from SLSHOP and have found all members of staff most helpful and it is more like dealing with a club than a commercial enterprise I would highly recommend using SLSHOP for cars, parts and most importantly impartial advice.

They put up with my indecision, inexperience and last minute demands and my car is the best thing I’ve ever bought. The most impressive thing about them is the after care though. Nothing is ever too much trouble and they’ve given me the best advice to make sure I get the most out of my car. Can you tell I’m obsessed with them all?
