Premium Benz coupe
Mercedes-Benz R107 SL series enjoyed an incredibly long life, from its launch in 1971 through to 1989.
In a feature on a 560SL we note: “Few things in motoring portray affluence and opulence like a Mercedes-Benz SL. The SL stands for ‘Sports Light’ which said it all for the first of the SLs in the 1950s; they were Mercedes’ proven sedan mechanicals installed in a shorter, sportier, lighter body.”
The big 5.6lt V8 is in a relatively mild state of tune, claiming 244hp (182kW) and driving through a four-speed automatic transmission.
Showing an ultra-low 33,900km, it’s available through Young Timer Garage in Melbourne, priced at $119,990.
