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.
