Description
The Mercedes-Benz 560 SL was the final and most refined of the revered R107 models, having benefited from years of incremental development since its initial unveiling in 1971. Launched at the 1985 Frankfurt Motor Show, the 560 SL received a 5.6-liter V-8 producing 272 bhp, new brakes, and revised front suspension. The R107’s enduring design has become an indisputable modern classic, and with its exceptional build quality and bulletproof reliability, it is a collector vehicle that may be regularly exercised.
This Mercedes-Benz 560 SL is presented in the unusual and rich combination of Champagne Metallic paint over Palomino leather interior and brown soft top. Displaying just over 11,000 miles, it is in remarkable original condition, a testament to decades of loving care under its original, long-term owner. It is equipped with 15" alloy wheels, four-speed automatic transmission, burl-wood interior accents, and its original Becker Grand Prix AM/FM cassette stereo. Included with the sale is its original hardtop, window sticker, factory data card, tools, jack, full owner’s manual packet, original keys, keychains, and a copy of the original title.
Investment-quality, unrestored Mercedes-Benz 560 SLs are becoming exceedingly difficult to find. This low-mileage 560 SL, offered in an elegant and understated color combination and superb unrestored condition, presents the Mercedes-Benz collector with the rare opportunity to acquire one of the best available.
