# 1983 Mercedes-Benz 500 SL (R107)
This is an exceptional example of the iconic Mercedes-Benz 500 SL, presented with complete service history from new and decades of meticulous maintenance records. What truly sets this R107 apart is the substantial £7,000+ specialist overhaul completed just 1,000 miles ago at SL Shop, where critical work including timing chain replacement, full engine service, suspension refresh, and comprehensive drivetrain restoration were carried out. Every component has been carefully documented, from the original stamped Mercedes service book to supporting invoices spanning the car’s entire life, ensuring complete transparency and peace of mind for the next owner.
The 500 SL is ready to drive and enjoy immediately, offering the powerful V8 performance, smooth gearbox, and composed ride that made these cars legendary. As a bonus, this collector-quality classic comes with both hardtop and soft-top, and is completely ULEZ compliant, plus exempt from congestion charges, vehicle tax, and MOT requirements—making it not only a joy to own but genuinely practical to use. With such comprehensive history, recent significant investment, and consistent mileage with no gaps, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a truly well-cared-for 500 SL that’s ready for the next chapter of its appreciating future.
