Mercedes-Benz 500 SL 1982

The 1982 Mercedes-Benz 500 SL represents the epitome of German engineering and luxury from the early 1980s, a period when Mercedes focused on creating the ultimate grand tourer. The R107 generation, to which this 500 SL belongs, was introduced in 1971 and would remain in production for nearly two decades. Very notable is the low mileage reading of just 90565 miles.

Under the hood of this 500 SL is a 5.0-liter V8 engine that delivers effortless power and provides smooth acceleration. The V8 engine is a key feature that distinguishes this SL from its smaller brothers, such as the 280 and 380 SL, offering the driver a powerful yet refined driving experience. The automatic transmission makes driving not only easy, but also extremely comfortable, both on long highway drives and winding country roads. This is exactly what Mercedes-Benz stood for: combining power with unparalleled luxury.

The exterior of the 500 SL exudes timeless elegance. The R107 is perhaps one of Mercedes' most recognizable designs, with its sleek lines, iconic chrome grille and distinctive wide B-pillar-less shape that makes open driving an even more involving experience. The finish, both in details and choice of materials, shows that the car was built at a time when quality was paramount.

The interior of this 500 SL reflects the classic luxury one would expect from a Mercedes. The use of high-quality materials, the comfortable leather seats and the attention to ergonomics make it a place where one enjoys spending time, whether it is a short drive or a long tour of Europe. The instruments and controls are logically positioned, with a minimalist design typical of the early 1980s, and emphasize the feeling of solidity.
