The third generation SL (R107) was launched in 1971, initially with just a 3.5-litre engine (350SL) mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. The car featured a two-door monocoque bodyshell with independent suspension and disc brakes all-round. Over its phenomenal 18-year reign, the R107 range was powered by eight different engines - two sizes of straight-six and six versions of Mercedes-Benz's silky smooth V8. The V8-powered 560SL was manufactured from 1986 to 1989 and only offered in the US, Japanese and Australian markets. With 227bhp on tap it was a genuine 130mph car, with ample reserves of effortless acceleration.

The vendor considers its bodywork, paintwork, interior, engine and automatic transmission to all be in `excellent' order and is selling the big Benz complete with import paperwork after arriving on these shores in May of this year, history file and its original owners' book pack plus service manual, and an advisory-free MOT valid into July 2016.
