Overview of 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL For Sale by Owner

The 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL represents the final and most developed iteration of the long-running R107 SL platform, combining classic Mercedes-Benz roadster styling with the smooth V8 power and refinement expected of the flagship 560 model. Showing 148,002 miles, this example is finished in Desert Taupe Metallic over a Pebble leather interior and is accompanied by both a Dark Brown convertible soft top and a body-colored removable hard top. Automatic climate control, heat-insulating green glass, and an anti-theft alarm system add to the grand-touring character, while the 5.6L V8 and rear-wheel-drive layout give the 560 SL the relaxed yet capable performance that made it one of the defining luxury roadsters of its era.

Exterior and Interior

The exterior of this 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL is finished in Desert Taupe Metallic and features the clean, understated proportions that define the R107 generation. A Dark Brown convertible soft top allows for traditional open-air motoring, while the body-colored removable hard top gives the car a more formal coupe-like appearance when fitted. Heat-insulating green glass adds another period-correct luxury touch and complements the elegant overall presentation. The interior of this 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL is trimmed in Pebble leather and reflects the durable, driver-focused simplicity of late-1980s Mercedes-Benz design. Automatic climate control adds comfort for longer drives, while the anti-theft alarm system provides an additional layer of security. The cabin’s combination of leather upholstery, restrained controls, and solid R107 construction delivers the kind of understated luxury that helped establish the SL as a benchmark grand-touring roadster.

Engine

Powering this 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL is a 5.6L naturally aspirated V8 using Bosch KE-Jetronic CIS-E fuel injection, paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. The 560 SL’s powertrain emphasizes smooth torque delivery and effortless cruising rather than outright aggression, making it especially well suited to the car’s grand-touring mission. The combination of V8 power, traditional rear-wheel drive, and hydraulic-era Mercedes engineering gives the R107 a distinctive driving character that remains central to its appeal today.
