This catalogue entry records a 1987 Mercedes-Benz 500SL in blue, a sports car, from the 1980s.
The 1987 Mercedes-Benz 500SL in blue is filed under Classic and Sports car, within the 1980s picture cars.
1980s on screen
Eighties cars can sit comfortably in scenes of school runs and office arrivals, where daily routines give the period detail a purpose beyond visual nostalgia. Number plates should be checked against the story year, particularly when the shot holds on a rear view during a departure or a parked conversation. Researching the age mix of eighties traffic can make a parked street feel lived-in, rather than a display organised around the date of the script.
Possible roles in a production
For a leisure-location scene, greetings and waiting can explain why a sports car is present without inventing a racing background or previous use. Any moving sports-car scene needs its action agreed independently, since the category is a visual starting point rather than a promise about driving on camera. A static sports-car portrait can be planned around the side view or a chosen detail, while clothing and location establish the tone of the image.

Questions about this car
Can I hire this 1987 Mercedes-Benz 500SL in blue for filming?
Mention this Mercedes-Benz 500SL when sending the shoot details, especially the dates, location and planned action, so any option offered can be checked for those requirements.
Is the photo of this exact car?
Treat the Mercedes-Benz 500SL image as a reference for the model, not a picture of this exact car; the actual vehicle and its colour are confirmed separately.
What if this Mercedes-Benz 500SL isn't available?
The catalogue lists 6 Mercedes-Benz 500SLs; if this choice cannot be offered, compare 140 Mercedes-Benz vehicles or 379 cars from the 1980s, with dates checked for each alternative.
Can it be driven on camera?
Moving the Mercedes-Benz 500SL during filming needs its own arrangements, not an assumption based on the photo: the owner, insurance, shot, transport and driver details are checked through the brief.
