Equipment includes all-round heat-insulating green glass, a heated rear window, LED daytime running lights, and the basic antitheft alarm system.

The interior of this 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL is finished in Alpaca Gray leather and carries the restrained luxury typical of the model.

Engine

Power comes from a 5.6L naturally aspirated V8 using Bosch KE-Jetronic CIS fuel injection, paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. The 560 SL sits at the top of the R107 range, and its V8 drivetrain gives the roadster the relaxed torque delivery and smooth cruising character for which the model became known.
