Mercedes-Benz have been producing an SL model or range of models
since 1954. The similarly styled but mechanically unrelated 190
followed in 1955 completing the first generation of cars. The
second generation SL's began with the 230 in 1963 and was
distinguished by its lower waistline. big curved screens and a
distinctive optional hardtop that earned the model its nickname of
`pagoda top'. The car featured a two-door monocoque body shell with
independent suspension all round. coil springs and anti-roll bar at
the front. semi-trailing arms. coil springs and an anti-roll bar at
the rear. The power assisted steering was Daimler-Benz's own
re-circulating ball system. Over its seventeen year reign. the R107
range was powered by no less than eight different engines - two
sizes of straight-six unit and six versions of V8's.

This 1981 Mercedes-Benz 500SL has only covered 73. 00 miles from
new. the service book shows that the total mileage in 1995 was
63. 77 miles; the vendor purchased the car at 71. 00 miles in 2001.
This 500SL is fitted with a few factory options. which include a
tan leather interior including the rear seat option and factory
hard top. Shortly after buying the car the owner had it re-painted
in the original colour of red and since then has used the car very
sparingly driving it just over 2. 00 miles. This Mercedes is very
good mechanically and only requires some minor bodywork to bring it
back to its former glory. This 500SL is supplied with a V5C
registration document. an MoT test certificate which expires in
November 2014. a service book showing all the services up to 1995
and a file containing old MoT test certificates and invoices
verifying the mileage. This is a very reasonably priced icon from
the 1980's.
