Overview of 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL Roadster For Sale by Owner

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.

Exterior and Interior

The convertible was available with both a soft top and a detachable had top. This car has a blue soft top that matches its blue interior and complements the white exterior. A white hardtop (matching the body) and a hard top stand are also included with the car. Of course, being a convertible, it’s best enjoyed with the top down on a summer day, which also gives the outside world a chance to admire the beautiful blue interior. The sealed beam headlamps give a “quad headlamp” appearance, and the slanted front turn signals accentuate the sleek design of the car, especially when the top is down.

Engine

The 5.6L V8 was rated at 227hp when new, more than adequate to keep up with modern traffic, while also having a nice grunt to it. The automatic gearbox makes it a very nice classic to cruise around in. The gauge cluster is pretty comprehensive, with not just 3 or 4, but 6 gauges in front of the driver, and a proper analogue clock. Between the 2 central air vents, Mercedes has placed a temperature gauge, giving an aircraft effect to the dash when combined with the propeller-like design of the air vents. Being a 70s Mercedes, the build quality speaks for itself. This vehicle is reported to have just 44125 miles on it, and comes complete with books and manuals, 2 keys and service records from the previous owner.
