Overview of 1986 Mercedes-Benz 560SL SL Roadster For Sale by Owner

Mercedes-Benz has been making their two-seat grand-tourer since 1954. SL stands for Super Leicht (Super Light), and this was indeed the case from the inception, particularly the model that started it all off, the 300SL Gullwing. The third generation (R107) SL had a spectacularly long production run from 1971 till 1989. This is a 1986 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL Roadster from California with 80,700 miles reported. The seller, who is the second owner purchased it as a fun summer car, and says that “whoever had this car before me was so meticulous, they kept everything they could!”. The car comes with the original owner’s manual and reportedly, the original keys too. It underwent a point-to-point inspection in September 2021 at which there was nothing to note, and comes with service records and maintenance receipts too. Would you like to be the third owner of this fine German boulevard cruiser?

Exterior and Interior

The third-generation SL saw Mercedes-Benz design move from the curvy and bulbous to the more straight-edged language of the Seventies. For North America, the headlamps were four separate sealed-beam units and the longer bumpers mandated by US regulations. This 1986 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL Roadster wears a clean Arctic White suit and rolls on steel wheels with shiny chrome hubcaps. It’s got a black soft-top and the hard-top is included in the sale too. The interior features grey leather seats for up to four occupants, and a wood-trimmed, black-topped dash. The driver faces a trio of clean-faced dials that communicate speed, revs, fuel, engine coolant temperature, oil pressure and a fuel economy meter. A neat clock lives in the lower part of the rev counter dial. There’s automatic climate control for your comfort, and the radio is a modern Kenwood unit with USB, AUX and Bluetooth.

Engine

The R107 class came with a range of six and eight cylinder gasoline engines. A diesel was never offered. Due to US emissions regulations, the Euro-spec cars always had more power and torque. This 1986 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL Roadster comes with a 5.5L (335ci) V8 with Bosch fuel injection that puts out 227hp and 287lb.ft to the rear wheels via a four-speed 4G-TRONIC automatic transmission. Performance figures at the time claimed a zero-to-sixty sprint time of 7 seconds, and a top speed of 150mph.

The Mercedes-Benz 250GD Wolf comes from a very different branch of G-Wagen history than the luxury-focused models most enthusiasts know today. Built for military use, the Wolf prioritized simplicity, durability, and off-road capability, and this 1992 example preserves that utilitarian character while incorporating a number of thoughtfully executed upgrades. Showing approximately 45,122 miles, it is finished in Mercedes-Benz OEM Desert Sand paint with a matte clear coat over a Black interior with Desert Sand piping. Its specification includes a 2-door military-convertible body, dual-range transfer case, independently locking front and rear differentials, 5-speed manual with crawler first gear, 24-volt electrical system, folding windshield, and military-style exterior mirrors. Custom additions such as the Canadian G-Wagen-inspired front bull bar, Black Rhino wheels, 33x12.50 mud-terrain tires, Rhino-lined body tub, and German-made tops give this Wolf an even stronger expedition-ready presence without losing sight of its original military identity.
