Seller's comments about 1987' Mercedes-Benz Sl Class
Few classic roadsters combine durability, elegance, and effortless performance quite like the 1987 Mercedes-Benz 500 SLProduced during the final years of the long-running Mercedes‑Benz R107 series by Mercedes‑Benz, this model represents the peak of development for one of the most respected grand touring convertibles ever built.Under the bonnet sits Mercedes’ legendary 5. 0-litre V8, delivering smooth, relaxed power perfectly suited to long-distance touring. Rather than chasing outright speed, the 500 SL excels in refined cruising, with strong torque, a composed ride, and the solid build quality that made 1980s Mercedes vehicles famous for longevity.Styling remains one of the car’s greatest strengths. The R107’s clean lines, balanced proportions, and understated chrome details have aged exceptionally well. With both the removable hardtop and folding soft top, the car offers the versatility of a coupe for cooler months and open-air motoring when the weather allows.Inside, the cabin reflects classic Mercedes design philosophy: high-quality materials, clear instrumentation, and driver-focused ergonomics. Leather upholstery, solid switch gear, and excellent visibility make the car as comfortable on modern roads as it was nearly four decades ago.ABOUT THIS CAR LOW MILEAGE ONLY THREE OWNERS in New Zealand (amongst Dealerships) - One lady owner for 15 years. It is built like a tank and utterly reliable, even after 36 years. Disk brakes all round / ABS / 240bhp / these came with the updated 4 speed, silky smooth gearbox / sumptuous ride quality. Comes with cruise control, heated seats, ABS, leather seats, outside temp gauge, rear seat, and hard and soft top. Great to use as a Sunday Classic or a daily driver - relatively trouble free model, so you should have no problems with it. Comes with hard top and Soft top. In the summer it's a great, breezy convertible with a dark and cozy canvas hood, and in the winter it's a quiet, brightly lit coupe. Good acceleration and lovely, sophisticated cruiser - the subtle rumble of that V8 is a source of joy - it pulls strongly from low rpm and economy is better than most modern SUVs. Imported from Japan - first registered in NZ in 2001 . Conventional, water cooled four stroke, reciprocating piston type with 8 cylinders in V configuration / Overhead Camshaft / Bosch electronic fuel injection system. Good straight, rust free body - very nice paintwork. Original interior in nice condition throughout. Good tires. Good battery. Sexy, sporty, fast, super fun to drive. Powerful engine. A real head turner. This amazing Classic is a real deal - Excellent overall condition. Perfect for road trips or around town driving.In our opinion, this is an over engineered Classic Car, that will only appreciate in value.Interest in the R107 generation has grown steadily as enthusiasts recognize its combination of classic styling, mechanical robustness, and usability. Well-maintained examples of the 500 SL are particularly sought after because the larger V8 was not widely sold in some markets.Today, values for clean, well-documented cars typically fall in the NZ$80, 000–NZ$125, 000 range, with exceptional low-mileage or concours examples sometimes exceeding that depending on provenance and condition.Don't miss out on this fabulous car. Its well priced and all ready for you to enjoy!TRANSPORT / WORLDWIDE SHIPPING CAN BE ORGANISED ON THIS VEHICLE ON BUYER'S BEHALF AT BUYERS COST.Viewing By Appointment only!PLEASE READ: The Purchaser is encouraged to personally fully inspect the vehicle and also to have the vehicle inspected, and fully assessed by an experienced, independent, specialist garage - before committing to purchase.
