A no-brainer when choosing a classic Mercedes-Benz, the R107-era SL is truly renowned for a multitude of reasons. From its timeless neo-classical Mercedes-Benz styling to its smooth V8 engines and of course, its star power, the R107 was made between 1971 and 1989. Over 300,000 were produced, of which in excess of 200,000 came to North America. Today, finding a later model example, such as this 1986 Mercedes-Benz 560SL is a very smart thing to do. This car has a light 53,259 miles on the clock, a 5.6-liter V8 under the hood, an aftermarket convertible soft top and a reupholstered interior as well. That makes this a great starter classic for someone who wishes to see what older cars were like before fully jumping into the classic and vintage car ocean.
Exterior and Interior
This 1986 Mercedes-Benz 560SL wears a white suit and rocks an aftermarket black convertible top for use when the weather is too warm, wet or windy. But that’s not its only method of protection. You see, a detachable hardtop is one of the R107’s party pieces, a feature that some later variants of the SL offered too. This car comes with its removable hard top included in the sale, replete with the special storage stand that you place it upon when detached. Now isn’t that nice? You’re getting two cars in one! The gray leather interior of this 1986 Mercedes-Benz 560SL is reportedly a reupholstery job but it looks very well done. This car comes with the two seat configuration that most North American cars offered; their European counterparts replaced the padded rear luggage area with two small seats. That space in this car is partially occupied by two speaker boxes for the aftermarket Alpine radio with CD player that sits in the dashboard, above the climate controls.
