Featuring Bosch KE Jetronic fuel injection, ABS brakes, sundry galvanised panels and recalibrated suspension etc, the 1986-onwards R107-series cars are particularly sought after by enthusiasts. Flagship of the European model range, the 500SL was powered by a 4973cc SOHC V8 engine rated at 240bhp and 296lbft of torque. Equipped with four-speed automatic transmission as standard, it was reputedly capable of 134mph.
