The Mercedes models were always poorly motorised compared to others available on the American market. That is why Mercedes introduced the 560SL (BM107.048) in 1985. The 5.6L V8 engine (M117E52) produced 227 HP (4,750 rpm) and 366 Nm (4,000 rpm). This 560 model was only available for the American, Australian and Japanese markets.

This Mercedes is equipped with all luxury options such as air conditioning, airbags, power windows, power locks, power steering, cruise control and a third brake light.

This Mercedes is in original condition (the engine and transmission are both original). The car starts immediately, shifts through all gears and brakes properly. The interior is original and still in neat condition, the blue interior with the Artic Weiss (147 F) lacquer looks timeless. The car also has the original toolset, jack and even the original first aid kit. The car has a removable windbreak which makes driving with the top off a lot more comfortable.

The car has good paint and the engine compartment looks fresh and well maintained. The car was always stored indoors by the previous owner. The hardtop is in neat condition and the soft-top has recently been renewed. The car is fitted with chrome-plated wheels (luxury option back in 1989) and the muffler has been replaced this month for a new one.

These Mercedes convertibles are starting to follow the prices of the Pagoda, especially the 560SL in this condition is much sought after so don’t miss this chance and become the new owner of this timeless Mercedes convertible!
