The Mercedes R107-series SL was launched in 1971 to replace the long-lived W113 'Pagoda' SL that first appeared in 1963. Though dispensing with Mercedes' usual model identification, it was based on the suspension of the W114 saloon and ran until 1989 with more than 237, 000 examples built, being the longest single series ever produced by Mercedes-Benz except for the G-Wagen. The Bruno Sacco-designed car was bigger, heavier, and softer-riding than its predecessor, but can still handle and won the plaudits from distinguished motoring writers including LJK Setright. The 245bhp 500SL made from 1980 had an all-alloy fuel-injected V8 and was made for Europe only, with 60mph available in 7. 4 secs the top speed was 140mph, faster even than the US, Japan, and Australian 560SL. Plenty of R107s (and SLCs) come to market but 500SLs are still a rarity, with only 11, 812 built.
