Principal Facts:
1987 Mercedes-Benz 500SL
Signal Red (568) with Beige Leather (275) and
Signal Red Hardtop (568) and Black Fabric Soft Top (740)
74,830 miles
This beautiful 500SL is not only finished in what is arguably the most desirable colour;, but it is equipped with almost every option that was available to order back in 1987.
The list price of £41,700 was already impressive, considering the average house price in 1987 was just a shade over £25,000, but the Air Conditioning, Air Bag, Leather Seating, Rear Seats, Outside Temperature Gauge, Orthopaedic Back Rests, Seat Heaters, Sump Shield added more than £5,000 to the list price, giving this car a total ‘equivalent’ price of more than £118,000. We think this is the most expensive R107 SL to grace our showroom so far.
With a service history to verify it’s mileage figure, this impressive car has clearly had a cared for life. Comes with the correct factory book pack and an impressive array of paperwork. Finding V8 powered R107 SLs is getting harder and harder, particularly in the ultimate colour of Signal Red. This is an excellent opportunity to buy and drive the icon.

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?
