IRREPLACEABLE MERCEDES-BENZ ICON
In 1971, Mercedes-Benz introduced the all-new Type R107 350 SL as the replacement for its long-running 230/350/280SL sporting convertible models. The design was by famed stylist Bruno Sacco, who was also responsible for the Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedans of the 1970s. Somewhat larger than its predecessors, the new SL was based upon a steel unibody structure and featured a more luxurious interior. Faster than ever before, the new SL delivered more predictable handling and industry-leading safety features.
As expected, Mercedes-Benz constantly refined and updated the R107, which remained in production for nearly 20 years in five variants. Powered by a 5.6-liter V-8 developing 227 factory-rated horsepower and 279 pounds-feet of torque, the 560SL was the ultimate expression, available from 1985 through 1989. As always, Mercedes-Benz SL ownership, particularly regarding the 560SL, clearly signified that one had "arrived" in life, a status that continues today.
This 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL is a very special, collector-grade example, offered with just 17,235 original miles at the time of writing. Benefiting from the loving care of just two owners from new, this 560 SL is now offered on behalf of a Mercedes-Benz master mechanic with 50 years of experience.
Offered in spectacular, impeccably original condition throughout, the 560 SL is finished in factory-specified Diamond Blue Metallic (Code 3550) paint and Royal Blue Leather (Code 272) upholstery. A Dark Blue soft top and body-color removable hardtop are included. This original U.S.-specification 560 SL is highly equipped with options, including the rear-spoiler delete, a rare rear seat, an outside temperature indicator, heated outside mirrors, a Becker electronic radio, an automatic antenna, an anti-theft warning system, a front folding armrest, automatic climate control, and heat-insulating glass all around. In addition to a complete inspection, service, and detailing, new tires are fitted. In addition to a clean Carfax vehicle history report, this 560 SL includes the original books/manuals and window sticker.
With its exceptionally low mileage, originality, and outstanding condition, this collector-grade 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL is a stellar example of a true Mercedes-Benz icon. See this wonderful example for yourself by contacting us today for viewing arrangements, a test drive, and purchase details!
