Mercedes-Benz SL 1997

At 911Box we have always had a particular appreciation for the timeless Mercedes-Benz SL, and the R107 generation remains one of the most iconic and enduring designs to emerge from Stuttgart. Examples of this quality and provenance are becoming increasingly difficult to find.

This superb Mercedes-Benz 420 SL has covered just 61,000 miles from new and presents as a beautifully cared-for example of this much-loved grand tourer. The car benefits from a comprehensive full service history, reflecting a lifetime of careful ownership and diligent maintenance.

Powered by the refined 4.2-litre V8 engine, the 420 SL offers the effortless performance and relaxed driving experience that defined the SL range throughout the 1980s. Renowned for its exceptional build quality, understated elegance and remarkable longevity, the R107 has firmly established itself as one of the most desirable modern classics of its era.

This particular example is especially appealing, featuring a full blue leather interior that remains in excellent condition and perfectly complements the character of the car. The desirable optional rear seats are also fitted, a sought-after feature that enhances both the practicality and collectability of the vehicle.

Externally, the car presents superbly and sits on newly refurbished alloy wheels, now fitted with brand new Michelin tyres. The overall condition of the car both inside and out is a true testament to the care it has received over the years.

The R107 SL has enjoyed a significant resurgence in recent years as collectors and enthusiasts continue to recognise the model’s enduring appeal, robust engineering, and timeless styling. With sensible mileage, strong history and exceptional presentation, this example represents a wonderful opportunity to acquire a beautifully preserved example of one of Mercedes-Benz’s most celebrated models.

As with all of our vehicles, this 420 SL will be supplied fully serviced and thoroughly inspected prior to delivery. The car will also benefit from a brand new MOT and will be accompanied by a six-month warranty for complete peace of mind.
