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.

What do you get if you want a Mercedes-Benz E-Class, but with a sportier, coupe-like silhouette? One might point to the E-Class Coupe, but then you counter with “I want four doors”. No worries, Mercedes-Benz’s boffins had anticipated such a request. That’s why the CLS-Class was born 2004, as a four-door coupe-like variant of the E-Class. Three generations were made before the nameplate was retired in 2023, as Mercedes-Benz now offers similar value propositions in other models. This 2018 Mercedes-Benz CLS550 comes from the second generation of the model, and has covered 72,229 miles so far. It’s a well-specified car, with the Premium Package, AMG Line Package, Parking Assist Package, Night Package, and Driver Assistance Package all ticked off. Hence, it’s a great luxury car if you’re looking for something truly sleek and stylish, with a Star on the nose.
If you look at any modern luxury car, its main selling points are its gargantuan screens pasted on the dashboard or its gimmicky self-driving abilities. Go back 30 years, however, and the term Luxury Car meant something completely different. This 1995 Mercedes-Benz S600 Coupe with just 135,238 miles on the clock is a perfect representation. The W140 generation is known as the last overengineered Mercedes, and it really shows.
One of the most popular luxury midsize cars, the Mercedes-Benz W124 E-Class, was introduced in 1984. Since then, this sturdy German cruiser has gained a reputation for being the pinnacle of Mercedes-Benz’s bulletproof build quality and reliability. It was made as a sedan, coupe, convertible and estate. Up for sale today is a pleasant 1990 Mercedes-Benz 300CE two-door pillarless coupe with a scant 99,157 miles on the odometer. We say scant because it’s not difficult for these cars to quickly rack up mid or high six-figure mileages. So, if you want a practical modern classic that can possibly outlive you, here’s the golden ticket. The car comes with two keys, the original manual, and is reported to have all servicing done up to date.
