Mercedes-Benz SL and SLC (R107 and C107)

SL leaves the Boulevard

Mercedes stretches the point

The follow-up car to the two-seater SL, the Coupe has enough of most things to squelch the most ardent critics

In the wind is it worth it?

Mercedes 450SL

Wankel's warrior

This Mercedes has rotary power beneath its bonnet and is the fastest, and probably the smoothest, SL ever. But it's not for sale - Mercedes, like all the other one-time rotary exponents except one, got cold feet years ago.

SL with a vengeance

With hundreds of miles of clear autobahn ahead, and the lightweight 5.0 litre V8 from the new S-Class humming sweetly in the nose of your Mercedes roadster, few are the reasons for dropping below 125mph

Escape to the Black Forest

Seeking decade-old design in a Mercedes? The 280SL's your car. Old it might be, but highly desirable it remains.
