1987 Mercedes-Benz 500SL R107 | London

A 1987 Mercedes-Benz 500SL, from the R107 series that ran from 1971 to 1989 as the brand's only roadster. It is known for relaxed grand touring comfort, solid build and the choice of a soft top or a detachable hardtop. This car is Blue with a blue interior, a single-colour scheme that looks clean and cohesive in shot. Under the bonnet is a 5.0-litre V8. Its long bonnet and low, open body keep the people inside in clear view with the roof down. Those looks suit advertising, fashion and editorial shoots, music videos and photography, with 1980s film and TV scenes an obvious setting. Events work too, where an open Mercedes adds polish to an arrival. It also suits a wedding or a special day out. The car is based in London.
