The Mercedes-Benz 420SL arrived in 1986, introduced for the last three years of R107 SL production. This 4.2 litre naturally aspirated V8 engine replaced the 3.8 litre 380SL, offered alongside the larger 5.0 litre V8 and six-cylinder 3.0 300SL until 1989. Although tens of thousands of 300SL and 500SL examples were produced, 420SL production numbered just 2,148, making it the most elusive of all R107 SL models.
Over on our Journal we have put together a comprehensive rundown on the 420SL engine, including further details on why this engine is such a great choice for the prospective R107 buyer. You can read that here.
This particular car first arrived at SLSHOP back in 2012, undergoing preparation for sale before we sold it to the current owner in the early days of our business. Having been enjoyed for the last few years, it is now time to find a new home for this lovely V8 SL.
We don’t need to wax lyrical about how Nautical Blue with Beige Leather is the perfect colour combination for a late model R107 SL, after a browse through the photographs we’re sure you will agree.
A lovely car with a great history, an ex SLSHOP car that’s ready for a new adventure.
