Mercedes-Benz redesigned its 'Pagoda top' SL in 1971 using the chassis of the mid-size 'W114/115' model and the motor from the larger 'W116' S-Class. Production of the luxurious V8 Convertible lasted through 1989 making it the longest running passenger car series ever produced by Mercedes to date.
This particular well-preserved example has been driven less than 14,900 miles. It was delivered new by Mervis Motors of Pittsburgh, PA on August 8th of 1980. It resided in the same collection until the end of 2018, when it changed ownership for the first time.
This Mercedes is finished in DB473 Champagne Metallic with Chocolate interior and is powered by a 4,520cc SOHC V8 engine fitted with Bosch fuel injection and develops 225 horsepower at 5,000 RPM. There is a four-speed automatic transmission, disc brakes, and an independent suspension. There is a factory hardtop, factory first aid kit, original tires, original books, and factory tool kit.By Daniel Vaughan | May 2020
