This is a beautiful 1986 Mercedes-Benz 500SL from the R107 generation. The car was delivered new in Germany and is still in beautiful condition. The car has a beautiful color combination consisting of a beautiful white exterior that is complemented by a beautiful blue leather interior. The dark blue hood completes the picture, even when driving closed.

The car is in very good condition and looks beautiful. The bumpers of the European version are a lot less striking than those of the American version and, according to enthusiasts, therefore a lot more elegant. The body of the car is in very good condition and is completely original. The sheet metal is nice and thin everywhere and has correct fits. The paint has already been repainted once in its original color for cosmetic reasons. The work was done very well and the car still looks beautiful. The SL is on the original wheels fitted with good tires in the correct sizes. Furthermore, the car is equipped with a pair of floodlights at the front.

The interior is highly original. The driver's seat has recently been reupholstered in the original colour. Here too, work has been done with a great sense of originality and the result is a beautiful, largely original interior. What is also striking is that the car has the rare rear seat. This much loved option was more often than not ordered by the first owners. In addition, everything shows that this is a top-class Mercedes-Benz. The car has climate control, cruise control, power windows, power mirrors, wood inlay on the dashboard and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. So you will lack for nothing when you are touring.

What you will not lack is the relentless power of the V8 engine. The 5-litre V8 produces 240 hp and a maximum torque of 400 newton meters. In this case, the engine is mated to the extremely smooth-shifting four-speed automatic transmission. The entire technology of the car has been well maintained over the years and you can notice that while driving. The car steers well, springs well and brakes well. Just as you would expect from 500SL.

Whether you need to speed up to your appointment in Basel or enjoy a relaxing tour of the Italian Riviera with your wife, this Mercedes-Benz 500SL is a wonderful travel companion under all circumstances. The European delivered cars are slightly more popular with enthusiasts than the copies delivered in the United States. This is not only a beautifully executed car, but also a car with the potential to gradually increase in value every year.
