The seller offers for sale this 1986 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL, powered by a 5.6-litre V8 petrol engine and an automatic transmission. Imported from the USA in 1998, the car has since belonged to a collector and has been kept in tidy condition. The paintwork looks clean overall with two small marks at the rear near the convertible top. The soft top shows two small holes. The interior presents neatly with minimal wear. The engine starts smoothly without blue or white smoke, though some engine noises are noted. There is no visible rust or accident history reported. It currently has no valid inspection as it came from a museum.
The Mercedes-Benz SL R107 series is one of the brand’s longest-running and most recognisable roadsters.

Its combination of open-top driving, classic lines and dependable construction has made it popular among collectors and enthusiasts.

The description of this car is, to the best of the seller’s knowledge, accurate and not misleading. Route 66 Auctions requests a range of detail about the car from the seller and performs a level of due diligence. However, potential buyers must independently satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of the description. We strongly advise potential buyers to view or arrange inspections as well as conduct any research they feel is necessary before committing to bid or buy.
Please note that it is not uncommon for classic or collectible cars to have received cosmetic repairs in the past, to rectify damage or refresh appearance, and this work may be hard to see even upon visual inspection. Unless there is an explicit statement by the seller to the contrary, please assume that any vehicle could have had bodywork or paintwork. Photographs may not reflect the exact true colour or exact full condition of the vehicle. It is a bidder’s responsibility to assure themselves of the colour and condition of a vehicle, including its interior and the existence of any remedial bodywork or paintwork, before committing to bid or buy.
