⭕ VEHICLE SUMMARY

The quintessential 1980s cruiser, bringing together open-top elegance with a smooth, inline-six engine.

Mercedes-Benz has a reputation for comfortable touring cars, which was well established prior to the R107 SL making its first appearance in 1972. The brand's virtues were strengthened by the SL's ingrained quality, ease of use and mechanical hardiness. All this has made it one of the easiest classic tourers to own today. Robust engineering and durable materials go a long way towards making the SL a safe choice for those who like to travel in style without the uncompromising nature of other open-top classics of the era.

Powered by the surprisingly frugal yet flexible 2.7-litre straight-six engine, the car can still hold its own on modern roads. With decent accommodation, a hardtop roof included, and excellent parts availability, the SL continues to flourish in popularity.

Coming from almost 3.5 years with our vendor, this well-presented and modest mileage example comes to the market having just received a fresh MOT and service – ready for the next lucky custodian to jump in and enjoy in this fantastic weather.
