With its upright grille, long hood, compact two-seat cabin, and unmistakable R107 profile, the 560 SL remains one of the most recognizable Mercedes-Benz roadsters of its era.
Exterior and Interior
The exterior of this 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL is finished in Arctic White and paired with a black convertible soft top, creating a classic and understated color combination. Equipment includes all-round heat-insulating green glass, a heated rear window, LED daytime running lights, and the basic antitheft alarm system. The proportions are quintessential R107, with a long front end, short rear deck, and the substantial chrome and body-color detailing that defined Mercedes-Benz roadsters throughout the 1970s and 1980s. The interior of this 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL is finished in Alpaca Gray leather and carries the restrained luxury typical of the model. Equipment includes automatic climate control, a folding front armrest, a 12-button multifunction steering wheel, a sun visor with additional function, and a rear audio system. A Sony audio head unit adds a more modern source for in-car entertainment, while the gray upholstery and wood-trimmed center console maintain the cabin’s classic Mercedes-Benz character.
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. Rather than chasing outright sports-car aggression, the 560 SL combines substantial V8 power with the composed, grand-touring personality that made the R107 such an enduring Mercedes-Benz icon.
