Description
Mercedes-Benz 560 SL | 1986
Highlights:
– 5.6 liter V8 engine
– Automatic transmission
– White exterior with blue leather interior
– Black soft top and removable hardtop included
This Mercedes-Benz 560 SL (R107) is part of the last generation of the SL built between 1985 and 1989. Recognized today as an emerging classic, the 560 SL combined styling with the robust 5.6 liter V8 engine, making it one of the most desirable models in the R107 lineup. This example comes in white, paired with a blue interior, and features both the fabric soft top and a matching hardtop for year-round usability.
Under the bonnet sits the 5.6 liter V8, paired with automatic transmission. While not a sports car in the modern sense, the 560 SL offered strong performance in its day, alongside refined cruising ability and the unmistakable character of a big-capacity Mercedes-Benz engine.
The interior is finished in blue leather, with the seats showing noticeable wear and age cracks, typical for a car its age. The dashboard and wood veneer panels display patina as you can see in the pictures. It offers an honest presentation, leaving the choice to the next owner whether to preserve the car as-is or restore the interior to its former glory.
On the exterior, the white paint shows some imperfections and signs of age, including some corrosion on the hardtop. The black soft top also shows some wear. The chrome trim and US-spec bumpers are intact, and the car sits on factory alloy wheels.
Overall, this 560 SL is not a showpiece but a usable and honest base with strong potential. It represents an opportunity to acquire one of the most sought-after versions of the R107 SL range, a stylish V8 cruiser that can be enjoyed now and gradually improved over time.
