About this car

A 1987 Mercedes-Benz 420 SL, the V8 R107 roadster that sat in the middle of the long-running SL range. Its 4.2-litre engine gave smooth, unhurried pace in a car built for relaxed open-top touring.

The dealer describes it as presentable and well maintained rather than concours, and it has clearly been used. It has a newly issued MOT, a good hood, working washers and wipers, a sports steering wheel and fully working electrics. A hard top and its stand are included. Mileage and ownership history are not stated.
