**1984 Mercedes-Benz 500SL Euro Roadster**

1980 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class SL Additional Info:

Here is the chance to own THE NEXT COLLECTABLE SL ROADSTER – THE HOLY GRAIL of R107 Line – European Spec 500SL VIN # WDB1070461A001224

What makes this SL differ from the other ones on the US roads is that this is EUROPEAN model, featuring more powerful 5.0 liter V8 engine (more power and HP than US model 560SL), elegant European one piece square headlights, and more aesthetically appealing European short bumpers – The way Mercedes-Benz Designed the R107 Series. The 500SL is also fastest production R107 SL produced!

During its production course from 1980-1989 there was ONLY 11,812 of 500SL’s produced WORLDWIDE and this beauty is ONE of them.
