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.

This Mercedes-Benz has been hand-picked by SLSHOP’s sales team due to its high calibre status. Every inch of this vehicle’s exterior, interior and mechanicals have been inspected by SLSHOP’s workshops to ensure the vehicle meets our world leading standards. While every effort has been made to offer pristine vehicles, there will be some age-related marks, unless otherwise stated.
