The gray market '85 500SL's are the fastest of ALL the R107 cars.

Very desireable. And the r107 is SO iconic. Instantly identifiable as a Mecedes Benz. Women LOVE them.

A little cramped, inside, and not so much a sports car but more of a boulevard open cruiser.

I think the best of them all would have a manual transmission but they are ULTRA rare - worldwide.

If the one sold here has a hardtop, the buyer will need a hardtop hoist or a hardtop stand in his garage.

These are easy to buy.

Parts are always available, though gray market ones (when needed) are tougher to find and buy.
