The Mercedes-Benz SL deserves a spot next to the Porsche 911, Ford Mustang, and Chevrolet Corvette as one of the most recognisable, longest-running, and now thoroughly modernised cars ever. Do you want something that puts a smile on your face? This is it.
Everyone you know owns one, used to own one, or wants to own one. They are easy and fun to drive, with cute, short wheelbases and the signature flat bonnet and boot that, with the hardtop removed, showcase how the car’s ingeniously simple profile becomes timelessly chic.
