1987 Mercedes-Benz R107 500 SL with Black Leather

1987 Mercedes-Benz 500SL (R107)

Black (0400) with Anthracite Leather (271) and Black Fabric Soft Top (9001)

39,360 miles

This is a very rare ‘Triple Black’ car with black coachwork, black leather and black soft top. Triple Black is an incredibly smart colour combination for an R107 SL, one we don’t see as often as we would like.

The combination of black paint with chrome brightwork gives the R107 a classic, 1950s style, which is appreciated now more than ever. When these cars were new in the late 1980s, buyers were more likely to opt for the metallic and pastel shades. For this reason we see very few pure black R107 SLs.

Leather and rear seating would have been expensive optional extras back in 1989, making this a very carefully considered purchase for the first owner.

Non standard factory extras specified with this car are Air Conditioning, Leather, Rear Seats and a Fire Extinguisher. These would have added almost £3,600 to the purchase price, or £10,000 in today’s money.

Brand new this car had a list price of £41,700.00 (£109,999.01 today) giving a total ‘new’ price in today’’s money of £119,102.79.

Simply beautiful in black.
