Overview of this Mercedes-Benz
Wonderful 420SL in rare colourway with well documented history of care by a number of UK-based specialists including SLSHOP.
Returning to our Showroom following a long stint of enjoyment, we are delighted to present this wonderful and rare Willow Green (261) R107 420SL.
Known to SLSHOP for almost ten years, this 420SL is a unique and example of a late 1980s grand tourer, thanks to its factory specification of Willow Green (261) and Beige Leather (275) with a Dark Brown Soft Top (8023). A combination that is rarely found on the international market, possibly due to the 17 different colourways offered by Mercedes-Benz at the time. Quite the contrast to modern dealerships where we are forced to choose between blue, black, grey or white.

History:
This 420SL has been very well cared for indeed, particularly as the first owner clearly used the vehicle for commuting purposes given the consumption of over 6,000 miles in the first three months of ownership.
Notable works carried out on this 420SL over the years include a repaint of the bodywork by SLSHOP in 2013, as well as the hard top a few years later. Similarly, a lot of attention has been paid to the mechanicals, with regular engine and gearbox services carried out the various owners between the mid-2000s and 2019.
