1987 Mercedes-Benz SL 300 review from UK and Ireland
"Sumptuous motoring"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
This particular car is in good rather than brilliant condition.
The car handles badly (even on a motorway) at speeds in excess of 100mph.
The engine / exhaust noise on a V8 model is better - and probably worth the poor fuel economy.
The interior has lasted amazingly for a car that has done over 110,000 miles. It is spotless.
