Description
The car has been in the family for a long time. The current owner's father-in-law owned it for 16 years before the current owner took it over in 2016. During his time with the car, the father-in-law replaced a number of wear items and also addressed some rust damage. Since taking over, the current owner has continued to care for and maintain the car, replacing parts as needed. The family has primarily used the car as a summer car, just as a convertible should be used. It has been driven sparingly and mainly in fine weather, which has contributed to a sheltered life. The car has always been stored under cover, in a garage during the winter and in a carport the rest of the year. Some documentation is included showing what has been done to the car over the years. As far as the current owner knows, it has not been repainted, which is also my assessment. In 2016, the water pump and sway bar, among other items, were replaced. Routine servicing has included annual oil changes, and in 2026 the rear brake calipers, brake discs, brake pads, and brake hoses were replaced on both sides. The most recent passed inspection was carried out on July 14, 2026, after which the car is exempt from inspection. It should be noted, however, that the driveshaft center support bearing is making noise and needs attention.
Here is a convertible with long family ties, documented history, and a life characterized by relaxed summer use and regular maintenance. The Mercedes comes with some documentation and a hardtop, see photos.

Condition
-
Mechanical condition
Runs well in terms of engine and drivetrain, but the driveshaft center support bearing should be looked over. The car's power antenna works. Inspected in July and passed.
-
Interior condition
The interior is in good condition with signs of use. Overall, the seats, carpets, door panels, and dashboard are in well-kept condition.
-
Exterior condition
The paint is in normal condition considering the car's age and mileage. There are some minor rust bubbles under the paint on the tops of the headlights, see pictures. There is also minor damage to the corner of the left rear fender, see picture. The soft top is in acceptable condition and folds down without issue. The undercarriage also appears to be in good condition. A trim strip for the left front fender is included loose, see picture.
-
General condition
A solid, running car in good, driveable condition. For those so inclined, there is potential for improvement. A perfect winter project for the garage.

Facts about the model
One of the true GT classics of the automotive world. The open Mercedes-Benz SL with the 107 body became a real long-runner, lasting 18 years. Production started in 1971 and continued all the way to 1989. By the time production ended, a full 260,000 examples had been built.
The 107 generation came about at a time when the American authorities significantly tightened their safety requirements, forcing many manufacturers to go all out.
At Mercedes-Benz, the 107 was internally known as the panzer wagon due to its construction. Over the years, the SL was built with a range of engines – both sixes and V8s.
The SL was also available as a luxury coupe, then called the SLC, which had a longer chassis than the strictly two-seat convertible version, the SL.
