Introduced in the Spring of 1971 the all new Mercedes-Benz SL or codename R107 was introduced as a personal luxury sports car. Nicknamed der Panzerwagen “Armored Car” weighing in at more than 3400 pounds was a completely new body shape for model year 1972. A completely new SOHC 4.5 litre V8 engine was housed underneath the long sculpted hood and mated to a 3-Speed automatic transmission. 1981 model year saw the launch of the 380SL model which introduced the new aluminum 3.8 litre V8 engine. It was much lighter and more efficient but still retained its predecessor’s excellent performance characteristics. With more luxury refinements and driver comforts the 380SL became the must have luxury performance roadster. However which way the driver chose to drive the car hardtop soft top or top down the SL was the epitome of classic luxury sports motoring.
