Kickdown's Take

by Moritz Niemann

The late-model 560 SL is one of the most popular variants of the R107 series. The SL offered here has only about 52,000 miles on the odometer and is being sold with a new TÜV inspection and a recent service, so it’s ready to drive right away with complete peace of mind. A distinctive feature is the shortened US bumpers, which give the roadster an attractive yet authentic look.

      Technik: Wie bereits beim Vorgängermodell stellten die USA den größten Absatzmarkt. Der überwiegende Teil der Fahrzeuge war mit den großvolumigen V8-Motoren ausgestattet. Die A-Säule war für Überschläge besonders fest ausgelegt, ein Airbag war seit 1982 erhältlich. Mit den Typen 450 SLC, 450 SLC 5.0 und 500 SLC nahm Daimler-Benz Ende der 1970er Jahre an großen Rallyes wie der 30.000 km langen Vuelta à la America del Sud (1978), der Safari-Rallye (1979) und der Bandama-Rallye (1979/1980) teil. Ein Nachfolgemodell wurde bereits Anfang der 1980er Jahre entwickelt, jedoch zugunsten der Mittelklasse-Baureihen W 124 und W 201 zurückgestellt. Dadurch blieb die Baureihe R 107 insgesamt 18 Jahre lang im Angebot. Nachfolger des SL (R 107) war der 1989 vorgestellte R 129, der offizielle Nachfolger des SLC (C 107) war der 1981 vorgestellte SEC der Baureihe 126. LG Tom
