Consistent with its rich traditions, Mercedes-Benz constantly refined and updated the 'R107' SL series, which remained in production for nearly 20 years. Powered by a 5.6-liter overhead-cam V-8 engine developing 227 factory-rated horsepower, the 560SL was the ultimate expression of the concept, available from 1985 through 1989. While US-bound 560SLs delivered somewhat less power than their European counterparts due to emission-control equipment, performance remained brisk, with acceleration from rest to 60 mph in just 8.0 seconds and an Autobahn-worthy top speed nearing 140 mph. As always, Mercedes-Benz SL ownership, particularly in reference to the 560SL, clearly signified one had indeed "arrived" in life and this enviable image continues unchanged today. Widespread use on film and TV screens continues today, with the 560SL universally recognized and appreciated everywhere one is spotted. 
 
Built during September 1988, this 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL is a highly original, high-quality example with just 55k original miles of use at the time of writing, with a clean Carfax vehicle-history report accompanying it. Colors are excellent, comprising an unusual and highly attractive Midnight Blue exterior finish and Tan leather interior, it is a 3-owner car from new, with all service records from the second owner?s purchase in 1996 to the present included. Handsomely presented and clearly maintained by meticulous owners from new, this 560SL further benefits from a recent application of paint-protection ceramic coating, plus a fresh service and detailing. A recently fitted set of new tires enhances this legendary Grand Tourer's road manners and an upgraded new radio with Bluetooth capability adds to the entertainment factor.
