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.
Plenty of R107s come to market, but 500 SLs are a rarity, with only 11,812 built.
