For the SL of the 1970s and beyond, Mercedes-Benz started with the
chassis of the mid-size "W114/115" model and added the motors from
the large "W116" S-Class. The result was a luxurious V8 Convertible
that would become one of the most successful passenger car series
ever produced by Mercedes-Benz.
Resplendent in rare English Red paired with a black hard top, soft
top, and leather upholstery, this thoughtfully preserved R107 is a
particularly desirable final-year example and unusual Canadian spec
delivery.
Like its Pagoda predecessor, the R107 cuts quite a striking, yet
highly refined line, especially when paired with factory "bundt"
style alloy wheels and a darker, contrasting hardtop. Both hard and
soft tops are finished in black. The two-tone look complements the
car nicely, and it looks particularly handsome in all
configurations.
Inside, thick, black beautifully mellowed leather retains a factory
appearance, while the center console displays preserved wood
veneer, ventilation controls, and correct Becker Mexico cassette
deck. The trio of deeply hooded gauge pods is home to a central,
metric speedometer.
A recent 2024 inspection, service, and complete European bumper and
headlight conversion ensures this collector grade SL is ready to
provide a stylish open-air driving experience for its next owner as
a strong contender for continued enjoyment and preservation.
