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

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.

Exterior and Interior

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.

Engine

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.
