1987 Mercedes-Benz 500SL
Estimate
£16, 000 - £20, 000
Registration No: D754 ELM
Chassis No: WDB1070462A061383
MOT: April 2026
Post-1986 galvanised chassis example, UK supplied from new
A notably fine example that wears its mileage well
Presented with a file demonstrating much expenditure and regular maintenance during its life
Offered with body-coloured hardtop
The mighty Mercedes R107-series SL was launched in 1971 to replace the long-lived - and loved - W113-series 'Pagoda' SL that had first appeared in 1963. Though dispensing with Mercedes' usual model identification, it was based on the suspension of the W114 saloon and the model ran till 1989 with more than 237, 000 examples built: with the exception of the G-Wagen, this was the longest single series ever produced by Mercedes-Benz. Equipped with a 3. 5-litre V8 at UK launch, progressively larger engines were offered, through 380 and 420 V8, later 280 and 300 'sixes' and ultimately the 4973cc, 245bhp 500SL made between 1980-'89. This model, with its all-alloy fuel-injected V8, was made for Europe only (though a few slipped into North America as grey imports) and, with 60mph available in 7. 4 secs and a top speed of 140mph, was faster even than the US, Japan and Australian-market 560SL. Plenty of R107s (and its longer-wheelbase coupe variant the SLC) come to market but 500SLs are still a rarity, with only 11, 812 built. From 1986, the R107 was facelifted and featured upgrades including a Bosch KE Jetronic fuel injection, ABS brakes, sundry galvanised panels and recalibrated suspension etc, and are particularly sought after by enthusiasts as a result.
