The most iconic generation of Mercedes-Benz’ long-running SL model is arguably the third-generation R107. Produced for eighteen years between 1971 and 1989, the R107 was a staple in Seventies and Eighties movies, driven by well-heeled ladies and gents. These cars were a massive hit in Hollywood too, with many celebs at the time owning one. It’s no surprise then, that they still turn heads when cruising. Get in on that head-turning action by purchasing this 1973 Mercedes-Benz 450SL Roadster. Coming from Missouri, it’s got 92,000 miles on the clock and runs beautifully, according to the seller. Three sets of keys and a car cover are included in the sale.
The R107 sports a timeless design that doesn’t look dated, rather well-aged. It’s a hard act to pull off, but this 1973 Mercedes-Benz 450SL Roadster does just that, wearing a prominent red paintwork which the seller is unsure of whether the car has been repainted. The beauty of these SLs is that you get a convertible top, which is black on this car, as well as the original, red-painted hard top which you can install when necessary. This solution grants you the best of both worlds – a soft-top convertible for sunny and windy days, and a proper hardtop roof for winter and wet weather driving. Storing the hardtop at your home is made easier by the inclusion of the original hardtop stand in the sale of this car. Two sets of wheels are also included in the sale, which are the honeycomb alloys as well as the steel wheels with hubcaps. The interior sports a black color theme and is strictly an affair for two. The seller reports that the radio is an aftermarket unit that may have been installed in the Eighties. You get a set of clear dials, a nice thin-rimmed four-spoke steering wheel and power windows as part of the conveniences.
This 1973 Mercedes-Benz 450SL sports a 4.5L V8 engine that’s equipped with Bosch fuel injection, helping it put out 190hp and 240lb-ft to the rear wheels via a three-speed automatic transmission. This car has received a recent tune up, with the fuel system reportedly completely gone over with injection system checked as well. New coils, wires and plugs have been installed too.

The Mercedes-Benz SL-Class is widely regarded as the finest luxury grand tourer available from Mercedes-Benz. While the S-Class may be sportier and most AMG models may be quicker, the SL is a car that makes driving hundreds of miles seem like the proverbial walk in the park. In fact, the more you drive it, the more you want to keep going. The R107 generation was produced between 1971 and 1989.

The ʼ80s was a time of extravagance, pushing the limits of automotive engineering and a big shift in customers preferences - analog was a thing of the past, the new and improved era was all about digital. There was however one machine that stood the test of time and handled the ʼ80s and its massive shift with class and elegance. The Mercedes-Benz SL R107 was nothing short of iconic, it was iconic to the point where it not just changed how open top motoring was in the ʼ70s but brought analog and old school charm into the ʼ80s as well. Present here is an automotive icon whose production ran almost two decades and takes shape with this lovely 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL. This clean example is reported to have a mere 24,688 miles on its clock and is ready to transform what your expectations of memorable drive is and also serve as a savvy investment in the years to come
In late 1995, Mercedes-Benz released a compact roadster that would become quite a highly desirable icon. The SLK, which stood for Sport Light Compact in German, featured a powered folding metal hardtop, giving owners a hardtop coupe and a full convertible in one car. Unlike models with detachable hardtops, there was no need to arrange storage for the top when detached, as it simply folded into the car when retracted. That, plus the SLK’s easy to drive dimensions meant that over 300,000 found homes in a nine-year production run. Today, we’ve got a 1998 Mercedes-Benz SLK230 Kompressor from Newtown, Pennsylvania for sale. With less than 64,000 miles on the clock, this is a great car to buy as a weekend cruiser, as well as future classic. However, it’s still capable of being your daily driver if you prefer.
