In the current ownership since 1990, this 500 SL has covered just 77,000 miles from new. Acquired by the vendor as the second owner but registered through his businesses hence showing four owners from new on the V5 document. During this time the car has always resided in the Stockport area. Finished in the classic 80s colour combination of Smoke Silver with brown leather to the interior, the car appears in very solid condition overall and, while cherished, has been used as a daily driver for several years and comes with current MoT to July 2026.
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.
