Mercedes 500SL
What is your favourite car of all time?
The flagship of the sporting end of the Mercedes range, the 500SL is the most expensive model in a three car family which has taken the SL philosophy into the 1990s. Launched at the Geneva Motor Show in 1989, these fourth generation models had been fully ten years in the design process. Highly refined, yet still very sporty, the 500SL features a wonderful V8 quad-cam 32 valve engine giving a capability of 157mph and an acceleration time from standstill to 60mph in just 5.9 seconds. Safety, typically for Mercedes, is also high on the list, with such advanced features as an automatic roll-over bar, which operates only when needed and seats that incorporate safety belts. An assured future classic.
