Lot 42
 

1986 Mercedes-Benz 500 SL

Estimated at £14,000 - £18,000

Lot details

Registration No: D63 SFC
Chassis No: WDB1070462A053797
MOT: June 2026

  • Showing just 3 former keepers and current ownership since 2002
  • 124,000 miles from new
  • Offered with history file and current V5c document
  • Both hard and soft tops

Over its phenomenal 18-year reign, the R107 range was powered by no less than eight different engines with over 237,000 examples being built - the longest single series ever produced by Mercedes-Benz aside from the G-Wagen. The Bruno Sacco-design was bigger, heavier and softer-riding than its predecessor, but still handled well and won the plaudits of distinguished motoring writers including LJK Setright. The 245bhp 500 SL made from 1980 had an all-alloy fuel-injected V8 for Europe only with 60mph available in 7.4 secs and top speed of 140mph, faster even than the 560 SL. Plenty of R107s come to market, but 500 SLs are a rarity, with only 11,812 built.

Showing just 3 former keepers and in current ownership since 2002, this red example has covered c.124,000 miles from new. Kept garaged and not normally driven in the rain for the past ten years it nevertheless comes with both hard and soft tops. Offered with history file, current MOT to June 2026 and current V5c document, it is described as being an overall “good” example of Mercedes-Benz’s big and rare SL.
