Flagship version of the celebrated R107 chassis, the Mercedes 500 SL combines V8 power, grand touring comfort, and Mercedes-Benz build quality. Equipped with a body-color removable hardtop and original grey leather interior, this car is one of the most prized Mercedes classics among connoisseurs.
In 1980 Mercedes unveiled the 500 SL, a muscular evolution of the 350 SL: a new 5-litre V8, Bosch K-Jetronic electronic injection, and onboard equipment worthy of a limousine.
From the French Riviera to the Via Salaria, the 500 SL is synonymous with swift, refined travel, turning every journey into an exclusive experience.
Metallic bronze bodywork, chrome accents, and an anthracite canvas soft top: timeless lines that blend solidity with charm. The grey leather cabin, enriched with walnut burl, offers the unmistakable comfort of 1980s Mercedes.
ABS, progressive power steering, and an integrated roll bar in the windscreen frame made the 500 SL one of the safest convertibles of its time — perfect for the panoramic roads around Rome and the lakes of Lazio.
Long bonnet, compact tail, twin headlights, and Bundt alloy wheels: the 500 SL embodies late-century Mercedes DNA, combining outstanding torsional rigidity with first-class comfort.
The M117 engine delivers 240 hp with strong, progressive torque. K-Jetronic injection, single overhead cam per bank, and legendary robustness ensure mile-after-mile reliability.
All with the unmistakable velvety Mercedes roar.
