Here’s a 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL Roadster with a reportedly genuine 40,852 original miles, coming from California.

This 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL Roadster sports a Smoke Silver paintwork and rolls on wheels with chrome covers, and the body sports the original decal pinstripes. New Michelin tires were reportedly recently installed. The seller honestly states that there is a slight fade on edge of the front fenders, a small spot on the driver’s door and a tape mark on the trunk lid. The soft top has been recently replaced, and the car also comes with its hard top included in the sale, as well as the original hardtop tools.

The seller reports that the dashboard has been replaced due to a crack in the original. New interior carpets are present, as is air conditioning which has been recently refurbished. The original Becker radio is no longer present, but that’s no bad thing as in its place is a modern Pioneer high-end head unit with AUX and USB inputs for you to enjoy a variety of music in modern formats. Another useful factor of late-model R107s is the presence of the driver airbag for added safety, which this example enjoys. Power windows and a power antenna are on board too.
