SUMMARY
Smart, usable now and keenly estimated, this top-of-the-range 500SL presents well.
DESCRIPTION
- Timeless, still beautiful and growing old gracefully, the third generation of Mercedes' SL
- Fitted with the super-smooth, 5-litre, M117 V8 producing 237bhp and offering 0-60 in seven seconds and 140mph
- Finished in Smoke Silver over black leather and complete with its matching factory hardtop
- The soft top remains in good condition and functions as it should
- The history file is comprehensive and filled with a smorgasbord of bills and invoices for maintenance and servicing
- With Pagoda prices now out of reach, the equally stylish R107 SL is a very attractive option
