A wonderfully presented Mercedes-Benz R107 420SL in Willow Green with Beige Leather and Brown soft top. This is a superb colour combination which suits the later R107, a hue that is currently in high demand.

Regular visitors to our online showroom will know that any green is a rare colour for an SL. It is not often that we are able to offer high calibre cars in any shade of green, despite the fact that throughout it’s life cycle the R107 was available in no less than 17 different greens!

Willow Green is a Mercedes-Benz colour that’s synonymous with the late 1980s, appearing in SL brochures for the last 3 years of production from 1986-1989. As greens and browns fell out of favour in the early 2000s, many cars fell by the wayside. With these colours now more popular and in demand than ever, there could not be a better time to purchase a Willow Green with Beige SL. The colours are further complimented by the dark shades of wood within the cabin, resulting in a highly luxurious picture.

As with the 500SL, Cruise Control and Limited Slip Diff are standard options on the 420SL.

The factory fitted rear seats trimmed in matching Beige Leather that are fitted to this car would have been an expensive optional extra back in 1988.

Finding a 420SL in any condition is getting more difficult to do – this really is one special car to behold.

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.
