Do you want to cruise around looking like a movie star? This 1986 Mercedes-Benz SL560 Roadster is one way to do so if you’re a fan of the Seventies and Eighties Hollywood, especially the cars that the stars drove on, and off the screen. The R107 generation SL was well received in North America over its 18-year production run. In fact, Mercedes-Benz built a shade over 300,000 for the entire world. This car comes with a claimed 117,000 miles, albeit the seller reports a non-functional odometer. Don’t let that put you off, as these cars are engineered and built tough, and with the right care, can live for decades to come.
The clean lines and timeless design of the R107 are evidenced on this 1986 Mercedes-Benz SL560 Roadster which appears in a pristine cream paintjob. One of the major party pieces of the SL is that it offers two roofs. You’ve got a color-matched hardtop for those days when you need maximum weather protection and security, plus a brown soft top for cruising like a convertible. Rolling on period chrome alloy wheels, and sporting North American style bumpers and headlamps, this 560SL will turn heads wherever you go. The convertible top is said to have received a recent service too. The brown interior is similarly well cared for, and offers seating for two with a luggage space right behind. You’ve got a clear set of dials, climate control, power windows, power mirrors, power antenna, and an upgraded Sony radio/tape player with CD changer control. We can also see some aftermarket speakers installed behind the heated seats. The steering wheel also hosts a driver airbag for added safety, and the original first aid kit is present in the car as well. Opening the trunk lid reveals more space for your cargo, which would have most likely been a set of golf clubs in the Seventies and Eighties.
This 1986 Mercedes-Benz SL560 Roadster is endowed with the largest engine offered on the range, a 5.6L SOHC V8 with Bosch fuel injection. Rated for 227hp and 287lb-ft, it’s clear that the powertrain is geared towards seamless cruising rather than rubber smoking. Drive goes to the rear wheels via a four-speed automatic transmission. It’s reported that the spark plugs were recently replaced by the current owner.
The Mercedes-Benz R107 series of the fine SL-Class ran between 1971 and 1989. It is the second longest single-generation in Mercedes-Benz history, eclipsed only by the mighty G-Class. But that doesn’t mean the Mercedes-Benz were resting on their laurels. Contrary to that, they focused on incremental improvements and upgrades for every model year. That’s why if you were to park this 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL next to one from the initial years of the production run, you’d notice differences in the interior amenities, plus under the skin. So, if you want a later-model SL from the R107 generation, you can buy this car from us. It may have done 141,000 miles, but that’s mere child’s play for a well-maintained classic Merc.
The SL name has long been associated with sleek, graceful roadsters. In the late 50s and early 60s, Mercedes famously created the 300SL and the 190SL, and then the W113 SL series in the mid to late 60s, which were heralded as some of the best-looking cars of the era. Now the question lay, come the early 70s, could Mercedes keep up with this heritage? And they did, with the R107. Based on the W114 chassis, the R107 series was made from 1971 to 1989 as the sole 2-seater roadster in the Mercedes lineup. Following up on the success of the W113 SL in the US market, greater focus was placed on making the R107 more American-friendly, from the headlamps to the engine options. The 560SL was the flagship version in the US market, available from 1986 to 1989, with the 5.6L V8. The 500SL was even more powerful as it wasn’t held back by US emissions regulations but was never officially available in the US market for the same reason.
The Mercedes-Benz R107 line of convertibles was highly regarded in the Personal Luxury Car market when it was introduced in the 1980s. Even today, its timeless style and instantly recognizable design make it one of the most sought-after classic Mercedes-Benz models from their back catalog. The 1987 Mercedes Benz 560SL Cabriolet was one of the most powerful models in the Mercedes lineup at the time. Introduced in 1986, it offered North American consumers a genuinely potent version of the SL—one that consumers had been desperate for since grey market examples of the 500SL were outlawed from sale in 1985. Our featured car is reported to have the original engine and transmission in place, with recent maintenance carried out to ensure the next custodian has many miles of worry-free classic motoring.
The Mercedes-Benz SL-Class has been representing the pinnacle of two-door grand tourers that Mercedes-Benz can make since its 1954 debut. Many generations have been made since then, and this 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG Convertible comes to you from the R230. Produced between 2002 and 2011, the R230 brought fresh styling and engineering. Of course, AMG got their hands on the model too, with a fearsome SL55 variant. That’s what this car is, and it’s got only 34,000 miles on the clock. So, if you want a contemporary, V8-powered roadster with plenty of modern touches but none of today’s excessive digital screens, this car is for you.
The Mercedes-Benz SLK was introduced in 1995. Mercedes-Benz wanted to offer something compact, sporty and luxurious with a twist. The twist came in the form of a folding metal roof that meant you effectively got two cars in one. The first generation ran between 1995 and 2004, and saw over 311,000 units sold. So if you’ve been lusting after one of these fine cruisers, check out this 2002 Mercedes-Benz SLK 320 that’s just come up for sale. The car has got all its maintenance up to date, and shows 86,000 miles on the odometer.
