A fantastically rare find, a very high specification ‘late’ R107 showing all the hallmarks of being a Mercedes-Benz Press Car.

This 1985 500SL features Cruise Control, Becker Premium Audio System, ABS, Heated Leather Front Seats, Additional Rear Seats (Leather) and rear spoiler.. in short this is a ‘tick all the boxes’ special order car.

Interestingly this is a 1985 car when the final incarnation of the R107 arrived in 1986. The specification of this car is huge.

Amongst the standard options this particular car also has Becker Premium Audio System, Heated Leather Front Seats, Rear Seats (also Leather), Outside Temp Gauge, Airbag, Air Conditioning.. in short this is a ‘tick all the boxes’ special order car.

The list price of a 500SL back then was £41,700 – this car had a total price with options of £46,838, or £123,554 in today’s money.

Essentially, this is one of the most expensive 500SLs we have come across.

We do not know of many cars that have come to us showing NOTE FOR SPECIAL EQUIPMENT (PRESS VEHICLES) within the datacard, making this a rather special SL.

This Mercedes-Benz has been hand-picked by SLSHOP’s sales team due to its high calibre status. Every inch of this vehicle’s exterior, interior and mechanicals have been inspected by SLSHOP’s workshops to ensure the vehicle meets our world leading standards. While every effort has been made to offer pristine vehicles, there will be some age-related marks, unless otherwise stated.

We advise interested parties to join us for a coffee to peruse the documentation accompanying this vehicle. There are servicing records and invoices, MOT and tax records dating back many years and as such must be viewed in person.
