1987 Mercedes-Benz 300SL | London

A 1987 Mercedes-Benz 300SL, from the R107 generation of SL roadsters that Mercedes built from 1971 to 1989. The model is known for relaxed grand-touring comfort and solid build. It has a soft top and a removable hardtop, so it presents well roof up or down. This car is red with a beige interior, a warm pairing that reads clearly on camera and sits comfortably against brick, stone or greenery. It has a 3.0-litre petrol engine and is in very good condition, which holds up well in close paintwork and cabin shots. The clean 1980s lines give it a period look without any dressing. Advertising, fashion and editorial shoots get a low, wide roadster with space around the subject, and music videos get an open cockpit that is easy to film into. Film and TV productions set in the 1980s have a car of the right date. Weddings and personal hires get a relaxed open-top arrival too. It is based in London.
