The Mercedes-Benz R107 series of the fine SL-Class ran between 1971 and 1989. It is the second longest single-generation in Mercedes-Benz history, eclipsed only by the mighty G-Class. But that doesn’t mean the Mercedes-Benz were resting on their laurels. Contrary to that, they focused on incremental improvements and upgrades for every model year. That’s why if you were to park this 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL next to one from the initial years of the production run, you’d notice differences in the interior amenities, plus under the skin. So, if you want a later-model SL from the R107 generation, you can buy this car from us. It may have done 141,000 miles, but that’s mere child’s play for a well-maintained classic Merc.
Exterior and Interior
This 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL presents itself in a Burgundy paint job that perfectly showcases the timeless design that was penned as far back as 1968. The car showcases the North American-mandated elongated bumpers, and comes with a hard top plus a soft top. This was a defining feature of the model, as it effectively gave buyers two cars in one. They could have a proper metal-roofed hardtop for winter, and a slick convertible for summer. Today, you can enjoy the same level of versatility.The interior of this 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL is also burgundy, and seats two adults in comfort. Behind the two seats is an area where some luggage can be stored, to augment the car’s surprisingly spacious trunk. After all, the R107 SL was meant to be a grand tourer, hence one should not have to compromise on luggage. Everything is period-correct, except the radio, which has been upgraded to a Kenwood unit that offers USB and AUX connectivity.
