The most powerful of the entire Mercedes SL lineup in its time, even the entire decade, the 560SL Roadster was a vehicle that had everything. Its powerful engine roared, delivering great horsepower, it was well-engineered, and it delivered the luxury of Mercedes in a vehicle that was built for speed. This particular 1987 model has aged like fine wine and is one of the most desirable classics that the German automaker has ever created. With 85,000 miles recorded on the clock, this is a vehicle that shouldn't be missed out on.
Circling around this 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL Roadster, it's easy to see what made this vehicle an instant classic and so highly desirable. It followed the iconic Mercedes design of language of its time but tweaked just enough to feel fresh and even youthful. The low, long body is a mix of straight lines that curve into each other, casting an elegant silhouette that is unmistakable. This particular 560SL Roadster comes in Dark Blue and comes with a hardtop that matches the color for when the weather gets dreary. But it is in the sun that this Roadster truly shines; with no roof getting in the way, the driver has the world to themselves as they enjoy the vehicle's plush interior. Covered in rich Palomino Tan leather, the interior is everything expected in a Mercedes, functional, premium and luxurious. The interior space doesn't fall short in modern-day standards, with very little to hint at the fact that this interior is of a car from the '80s, except for the blatant lack of any technology in the cabin. The seats settle you in comfortably and supply ample support to your entire body. Their doors and windows are power operated, unlike many vehicles of the time, switches and everything. There's even air conditioning.
Although fitted with one of the most powerful engines Mercedes made at the time, a massive 5.6L paired with an automatic transmission, the luxurious and plush interior and body packs a lot of weight. Then again, these vehicles were never meant for the track anyway. Whatever the 560SL lacked in delivering performance driving, however, it made up for in comfort and power, said to have been able to hit 60mph in about seven seconds fresh out of the factory. Performance with a taste of luxury, this Mercedes gave the best of both worlds.
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.

The Chevy Camaro and its sibling, the Pontiac Firebird, dropped for the 1967 model year as General Motors sought to quash Ford’s runaway pony car success with the Mustang. Competing in the same class, the Camaro and the Firebird would become firm rivals to the Mustang, and first-generation models of either car would only appreciate in value. That’s particularly true of this first-generation, first-year 1967 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible. It’s an excellent 80,000-mile specimen that’s destined to be a valuable classic car if maintained and cherished.
