Description

For sale is a Mercedes-Benz 500 SL (R107), first registered 06/1983, in black with leather upholstery.

The vehicle is particularly impressive for its very good, unwelded body condition and its authentic state of preservation. This is not an R107 restored to like-new condition, but rather an honest, naturally aged classic with the corresponding patina.

A current Classic Data appraisal rates the vehicle at condition 2− with a market value of €40,000. The vehicle has matching numbers.

The MOT and emissions test were newly carried out in July 2026 and are valid until 07/2028. The MOT was passed without any significant defects. Only “engine oily” was noted as a minor defect. The emissions test was also passed.

Before the sale, the 500 SL was professionally detailed inside and out.

Equipment and Accessories

  • original hardtop
  • leather upholstery
  • heated driver's seat
  • electric windows
  • electrically adjustable right exterior mirror
  • automatically extending electric antenna
  • Baroque-style alloy wheels
  • historic registration
  • original boot lid without rear spoiler also included
  • 4 new, still-unmounted tyres also included

The currently fitted boot lid has a rear spoiler. The original lid without spoiler has been retained and will be handed over with the vehicle, making it possible to return the car to its original configuration.

The interior is in an authentic, age-appropriate condition. The leather and carpets show visible signs of use, which could not be completely removed even through professional detailing. This has deliberately not been concealed and is shown accordingly in the pictures.

The current mileage is around 197,450 km; 197,415 km was documented at the MOT on 31.07.2026.

It is precisely the combination of the 5.0-litre V8, unwelded body condition, matching numbers, hardtop, historic registration and documented Classic Data condition 2− that makes this 500 SL an interesting vehicle for R107 enthusiasts who value an authentic classic.
