Mercedes 420SL

Friday, February 24th, 2017

The Mercedes 420SL (R107) is in our opinion the best derivative of this series. The 4.2L V8 has only 22hp less than the 500SL but consumes a lot less fuel. Importantly it is a much rarer car with only 2,148 produced as opposed to 11,812 of the 500SL (49,347 560SL). In addition to the standard ABS, electric windows, hard and soft tops, alloy wheels, this car also has heated seats which is a lovely extra on a cold winters morning.

This car was subject to a series of restorative works by Cardock Classics in 2012 to include bare metal respray, new carpets, new leather door cards and tonneau cover, re-veneer of wood and engine overhaul. The car has been garaged and used occasionally over the past 5 years.
