The Mercedes-Benz SL nameplate enjoys a glorious history dating back to the original 300SL Gullwing. Thanks to American importer Max Hoffmann, Mercedes-Benz was convinced to sell the SL as a personal luxury car in the United States, and it has been available since 1954. This 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL is from the famous R107 generation that ran between 1971 and 1989. This generation enjoyed a particularly close relationship with Hollywood. It was seen on the silver screen as the preferred car for the wealthy, and stars loved it enough that they bought it and drove it off-screen too. So, if you want to own a car that was one of the most sought-after in America during the Seventies and Eighties, this 67,230-mile example is great. We're told that this is an all-original car, making it even more coveted.
Wearing a lustrous green paint job, this 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL will still turn heads as you cruise by in it. The car even comes with the original hardtop, making it a true all-weather, all-season vehicle. You can keep the hard top at home and enjoy glorious summer days in true convertible style. Should the sun get too hot or a sudden drizzle come your way, there's a black canvas top at your disposal. Then, when the seasons get wet and windy, you can install the hardtop and enjoy a proper fixed-head coupe experience. To cap it all off, the car reportedly wears new tires on its classic Mercedes-Benz wheels, so you need not worry about old and cracked rubber. Inside, we find a luxurious tan cabin with two leather seats and wood trim. As a pinnacle luxury car, you'll find amenities such as automatic climate control, cruise control, power windows, power mirrors, and power door locks. There's even a power antenna for the period Becker Grand Prix, electronic radio with a cassette tape player. Pop the trunk, and you'll find it to be in similarly clean and neat order.
Powered by a 5.6L V8 with fuel injection, this 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL enjoys 227hp and 287lb-ft, sent to the rear wheels via a 4-speed automatic gearbox. There's more than enough power for highway cruising, while the power-assisted disc brakes on all wheels ensure that stopping power is ample.
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.

The Aston Martin DB9: a car that was so well-designed it stayed in production for 12 years, and continues to impress over 2 decades after its launch. In 2004, it took over the DB line from the outgoing DB7. While it’s predecessor was often criticized as being a Jag XJS in a fancy dress, the DB9 was developed as a fresh car (in fact, there is some speculation that Aston Martin avoided calling it the DB8 to distinguish it even more from its predecessor). The convertible version was named the DB9 Volante and debuted in September 2004 with softer suspension than the coupe and extra reinforcement to protect the occupants in case of a rollover incident.
BMW’s 8-Series was first introduced in 1990 as a sleek and angular luxury coupe. With its eye-catching design and excellent aerodynamics, the first-generation 8-Series was also the world’s first production car to pair a V12 engine with a 6-speed manual transmission. Offered exclusively with either a V8 or a V12, the 8-Series represented the pinnacle of BMW’s grand touring capability — a blend of power, luxury, and innovation that still defines the brand’s heritage. Presented here is a 1997 BMW 840Ci from Key Largo, Florida — a low-mileage example showing fewer than 32,000 miles. Under its long hood lies the more economical yet still exciting 4.4L V8 engine, delivering smooth, effortless performance. If you’re looking for a stylish grand tourer that’s both a collector-grade classic and a comfortable daily driver, this 840Ci perfectly fits the bill.
