(VIN#WDB1070461A022070) With 57,000 Miles, rare black exterior and palomino leather interior color combination, there is just not a lot of 500SL’s like this one on the market!! What makes this SL differ from the other ones on the US roads is that this is EUROPEAN model, featuring more powerful 5.0 liter V8 engine (more power and HP than US model 560SL), elegant European one piece square headlights, and more aesthetically appealing European short bumpers – The way Mercedes-Benz Designed the R107 Series!. The 500SL is also fastest production R107 SL produced!! During its production course from 1980-1989 there was ONLY 11,812 of 500SL’s produced WORLDWIDE and this beauty is ONE of them!!! With its rare and desirable color combination, and the fact that this is true, Original EUROPEAN 500SL, there is not a lot of R107 SL’s like this one on the road today!! Exterior: Its Rare and ORIGINAL Black (Paint Code 040G schwarz) paint has a beautiful shine and luster, and it looks like the day it left the showroom floor!!

Not only does finding a 30ish year old car that has not been altered by numerous past owners add to your enjoyment of the car; the more original features that you can substantiate the better when it comes time to sell your treasure!!! Experienced car collectors and investors have learned that a solid, sound, original body is the most important aspect of any vintage car!
