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?
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.
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.
