1989 Mercedes-Benz R107 500SL with Grey Leather (278)
Nautic Blue (929) with Grey Leather (278) / 500SL
Reserved
Principal Facts:
A fantastic high-specification Mercedes 500SL (R107) with under 50,000 miles.
This vehicle was previously sold by SLSHOP in 2015 before being moved to Spain where it has resided since. Now back in the UK, we welcome viewings of this stunning low mileage example. A rare vehicle in 2023 due to the popularity of the 500SL back in its heyday – the 500SL was arguably the one everyone wanted. Largely due the fact it is the most powerful of the R107 variants, and also due to the supporting extras the vehicle came with as standard.
Standard options with the 500SL were generous and included a Limited Slip Differential, Electric Windows, Cruise Control, central locking and much more. For more information on standard options, visit this article.
Condition Synopsis:
To prepare this vehicle for sale we have carried out the following works, reassuring the new owner that they can head off into the sunset undeterred.
Suspension: Our Specialist Workshop has replaced the front subframe bushes.
Drivetrain: As the leading classic Mercedes-Benz specialist we pride ourselves on our knowledge of perfectly operating gearboxes. To bring this 500SL up to modern standards, we have refitted a new gearbox sump pan gasket and kick-down O ring, also replacing the gearbox selector bushes at the same time. This 500SL's gearbox will now see you through many thousands of miles.
Steering: We have also carried out a full Power Steering service on this 500SL's system, ensuring arrow straight commands in the future.
Brakes: A refurbished near-side front brake calliper has been fitted and the whole system has been bled, flushed; and replaced with new fluid. This is just a snapshot of the works carried out to prepare this vehicle. For more information, please contact us.

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?
