Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1984 Mercedes-Benz 500SL is a well-maintained R107 model, previously from Portugal, boasting rare Lorinser alloy wheels and both hard and soft tops. Recent mechanical work, including a fuel system overhaul and gearbox service, enhances its appeal as a drivable classic.
Condition
7
The car is described as being in very smart overall condition with 98,500 miles. The interior features black leatherette with period-correct M-B Tex checked cloth inserts. A new soft top has recently been fitted, while the included factory hardtop remains in excellent unrestored condition. This suggests that while not perfect, it is well-maintained with slight wear visible.

Description
Background: The R107 generation of Mercedes-Benz SLs enjoyed an extraordinarily long production run from 1971 to 1989 and has rightly earned its place as one of the most iconic luxury convertibles of its era.
Combining understated elegance with robust mechanicals, the 500 SL variant offered the most powerful engine available to European buyers at the time, featuring a smooth 5-litre V8 paired to a 4-speed automatic gearbox.
With a reputation for build quality and refinement, the R107 continues to attract collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate its blend of style, usability and prestige.
The Car: Supplied new in the UK in 1984, this 500SL was later taken to Portugal by a long term English owner, where it benefited from a full bare-metal respray in Champagne Metallic.
It returned to the UK in 2013 and has been in the care of its current owner for several years, during which time it has received careful attention and regular maintenance.
The car is presented today with 98,500 miles...
