 | From the iconic 1952 W198 300SL Gullwing coupe to the W113 1960s roadster, to the safe and stately R107 coupe of the 1970s and 1980s, to the super-luxe AMG neck-snappers of the 1990s and 2000s, the Mercedes-Benz SL "Sport Light" series has meant something different in each of its many incarnations, all the while signifying taste, class, and old money in a way few other sports cars can claim.
For build quality and reliability, few auto-makers are represented on the road as well as Mercedes-Benz, whose cars from 30 and 40 years ago remain a common sight—as daily drivers far beyond their quarter-millionth mile. |
