1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL - R107

A handsome V8-powered 1980s convertible, accompanied by its matching hardtop. Under the bonnet is the naturally aspirated 5.5-litre V8, delivering 169kW and 373Nm of torque to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission. This left-hand drive, US-market car has been driven sparingly since its last service, which was completed at approximately 198,000 miles. This R107-generation 560 SL is finished in Gunmetal Grey with a matching hard top. The cabin is trimmed in Alpaca Grey leather, punctuated by dark wooden inlays. It rides on a set of polished 15-inch wheels. The specification also includes air conditioning, cruise control, and a Becker Grand Prix radio cassette player. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess exterior and interior condition. The seller is not aware of any mechanical or electrical faults. The car was last serviced at around 198,000 miles. The R107-era 560 SL is an elegant and continually sought-after modern classic, powered by a smooth and sonorous V8, and fitted with a detachable hard top for greater year-round usability. Driven and enjoyed as intended though reported by the seller to be in sound mechanical health, this example would make for a refined yet exciting companion for warm-weather cruising and long-distance touring alike.
