Model history:

With the SL of the R 107 model series from Mercedes-Benz, luxury finally found its way into the SL-Class. The sporty gullwing and the agile pagoda had become a comfortable sports car. With the upholstered dashboard, the steering wheel with impact pot or the tank mounted above the rear axle in the crash-proof area, the new SL offered modern safety features. In addition, low-pollution side windows and rear lights provide a safety plus. Back then, customers could choose between a wide variety of six- and eight-cylinder models in various power levels. By 1989, almost 240,000 convertibles of the Mercedes-Benz 107 model series had been built.
