This car represents an excellent opportunity for someone wishing to enjoy continental cruising in a well cared for and superbly presented V8 engined SL. Owned by a customer who we have known for some time, this car has always been kept in the very best running order and has enjoyed a number of European adventures. In the last five years this car has been subject to an extensive amount of work, including the all important suspension bushes to ensure it handles as well as the day it left the factory.
The colour is Pine Green 254, one of 17 different green shades offered for the R107 SL but a colour that was only available for the final three years of production. It is a very rare colour to find on any SL, let alone a late model V8 with beige leather.
In addition to being a rare colour combination, this car also boasts air conditioning. This optional extra would have cost the first owner just over £1943, or just over £5100 in today’s money! Add to that the additional £851 of the leather seats, and you end up with a total ‘new’ price of around £44,500 – roughly equivalent to £117,000 today.
We believe the combination of colour, equipment and careful stewardship make this 500SL the perfect companion for your next big trip.

INDUSTRY TRUSTED
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?
