Thistle Green Metallic (881) with Beige Leather (275) and
Thistle Green Metallic Hardtop (881) with Dark Brown Fabric Soft Top (746)
The Mercedes-Benz 420SL was introduced in 1986, available in the R107 SL range until the end of production in 1989. The 420SL replaced the 380SL, which superseded the 350SL in 1976. You can read about this history of this engine in this article.
Compared to the 300SL and 500SL, the 420SL is a rarity. With just over 2,000 built, it was dwarfed in quantity by some 13,500 examples of the 300SLs and almost 20,000 500SLs.
Built in 1986 and registered on a ‘D’, this 420SL has been well cared for all of its life. It comes from long term ownership, having been used sparingly for the first decade of it’s life before going into storage…. It has covered less than 1,000 miles since 1996!
In recent years a recommissioning program has commenced, resulting in a spend of almost £20,000 to return the car to ‘as new’ condition.
Here is an exceptional car, rare being a 420SL and rare being finished in Thistle Green, a beautiful ‘period’ colour that’s looking better and better as time goes by. A lovely car to behold.

INDUSTRY TRUSTED
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?
