The Mercedes-Benz SL-Class is a lineup of luxury grand tourers from Mercedes-Benz that's been around since 1954. Owning and driving an SL is a dream for many, as this car is widely considered the one you buy to treat yourself when you've made it to the top rung of your professional career. This 1987 Mercedes-Benz SL560 Roadster will have started life no differently. We're told that this 79,000-mile car was always kept up to date with maintenance and is an all-original car. Why not pick it up for your classic collection or as your first classic car? Either way, it will certainly make a positive impact on your life.
This red 1987 Mercedes-Benz SL560 Roadster isn't the typical outlook you'd expect for an R107, but that's a good thing because you'll definitely turn heads. The car sports the North American-mandated elongated bumpers and dual front headlamps and comes with reportedly original chromed wheels. You've got the 560SL badging at the rear, along with the Mercedes-Benz Star. The front also showcases the Star, and we see a dainty set of yellow fog lamps has been added next to the factory driving lamps. The tan leather interior of this car is also said to be all original. Take a few moments to appreciate the simplicity of pre-digital era dashboards. You've got analog instrumentation and plenty of buttons and knobs. As a later-model SL, this 1987 Mercedes-Benz SL560 Roadster is well-equipped. It's even got an aftermarket JVC radio head unit with CD playback and an AUX port. We also see the original Becker radio and are led to believe it's included with the sale. The current owner informs us that the car lacks one thing – air conditioning. However, it's not hard to fix an air conditioning unit for these cars since they did have factory air conditioning.
The largest engine of the range sits beneath the hood of this 1987 Mercedes-Benz SL560 Roadster, and it's a 5.6-liter V8. It uses Bosch fuel injection and makes 227hp and 287lb-ft. The drive is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission. We're told that the car has received a new battery as well. You probably won't set blistering 0-60 times in this car, but that's not its purpose. Instead, it is a comfortable and faithful long-distance cruiser that can eat up the miles with nary a whimper.
You might be wondering why there are so many R107-series Mercedes-Benz SLs for sale. Certainly, we at Exotic Car Trader have shifted our fair share. You see, that’s because the R107 was one of the best-sellers of its time. Between 1971 and 1989, Mercedes-Benz made over 300,000 of them. That’s pretty decent for a top-tier luxury car, and what’s even more eye-widening is, two-thirds of that was official US market sales! Yes, that’s before we consider the gray market or personal imports from Europe. Another factor that explains why so many are surviving is because they are built to last.

With over 300,000 produced and two-thirds of that ending up in North America, the Mercedes-Benz R107 SL-Class is one of those success stories that must be told. The series ran between 1971 and 1989, and during that time, Mercedes-Benz made countless upgrades and updates. While American cars were burdened with lower power outputs and emission controls, European cars were able to better weather the storm as they were already being made to be frugal yet powerful. So, if you’d like to get your hands on a well-equipped, low-mileage R107, this 39,000-mile 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL from Hattiesburg, Mississippi is the right choice.

Selecting an Aston Martin as your next vehicle shows that you are a certain sort of person. The type that appreciates British design and sports car engineering, and most likely, a James Bond fan at heart too. This iconic British automaker has had a long association with Ian Fleming’s superspy, in film at least. In the books, Bond is a Bentley man, but when the films were being produced, Aston Martin became the selected vehicle of Mr. Bond. In fact, you can find Aston Martins in over half of the Bond films produced to date. Today’s Aston Martin of choice is a 2020 Aston Martin DB11 Volante from Fort Myers, Florida. The DB11 debuted 2016 and was made until 2023, in coupe and convertible (Volante) forms. This particular example packs a twin-turbo V8 and just under 6,100 miles on the clock.
