The Mercedes SL is the longest-lived, most iconic GT car of all time, beating out anything Britain or Italy has challenged it with. The R107 generation of 1971 was arguably peak SL, combining the glamour of its W113 Pagoda predecessor with V8 power, bombproof reliability, impeccable quality, a floaty, comfortable ride to cross continents and must-have status thanks to an appearance in American Gigolo and famous owners like Madonna, Bruce Lee and Donna Summers.
