The pinnacle of Mercedes-Benz ownership during the '70s and '80s, the R107 and C107 series of the SL-Class marked the top step of the Star’s hierarchy of luxury cars. These two-door roadsters were available in two-seat form for North America and four-seat form for Europe. Produced between 1971 and 1989, the R107 received plenty of updates during its life, helping keep it fresh and desirable. Anybody who was somebody — and could afford one — drove one. Now, the R107 is a well-respected classic, and one that’s still in significant demand. So, we’ve got a 1977 Mercedes-Benz 450SL Convertible with a reported 51,000 original miles that you really shouldn’t miss out on if an R107 is on your radar. The current owner says that the car’s received a recent oil change, too.

This car remains an item of head-turning capabilities, regardless of whether you’ve fitted its removable hardtop or left it at home for that iconic convertible experience. The original Mercedes-Benz alloy wheels also remain, and they themselves are a timeless design. The interior of this 1977 Mercedes-Benz 450SL offers two seats in light brown leather, plus a padded luggage area directly behind to augment the car’s trunk.

Meanwhile, there’s a set of carpet floor mats with black Mercedes-Benz script on them to help keep the factory carpeting in excellent condition.

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.
