Fire up your entertainment app of choice and flick to any Eighties movie. Chances are, you'll see an R107 Mercedes-Benz SL roadster being driven by someone in the film. That's because the R107 generation was a mega hit for Mercedes-Benz in the United States. Dearly loved by Hollywood, many of the stars themselves bought the car as their private transportation. Thanks to the immense love the R107 received in the United States, finding one is relatively easy. Take this 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL Roadster as an example. With a mere 50,000 miles on the clock, this car has reportedly undergone some maintenance to keep it fresh. Read on to find out why it could be your ideal weekend companion, and future investment.
Wearing a white coat, we're told that the paint of this 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL Roadster has been refreshed on the hood to ensure a lasting ownership to admire the timeless lines that were penned in the late Sixties, but remain relevant to this day. Now, let's open the driver's door and settle down into the left-hand seat. As a two-seater, this is the best seat in the house. You sit low, gripping an airbag-equipped steering wheel and gazing at a clear analog instrument cluster. A cruise control stalk is visible on the left-hand side of the steering column. Gaze towards the center console and you'll find a climate control system, as well as a Pioneer radio with CD player. Meanwhile, a quick look at the parcel shelf behind the seats will reveal upgraded speakers.
This 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL Roadster comes with a 5.6L V8 under the hood, that was good for 227hp and 287lb-ft when new. It drives the rear wheels via a four-speed automatic gearbox. The current owner reports a host of replacement parts to keep this beauty running reliably. Items include new hoses, brake pads, brake rotors, brake calipers, tie rods, steering linkages, fuel tank, fuel pump, and battery. Finally, the engine has received an oil change.
It is often said that life was better in the '80s. Music, clothes, and, of course, cars. This 1987 Mercedes 560SL is a car that could take you through time. Kept in pristine condition, this car is ready to stretch its legs, having covered just 80,000 miles in its 37-year life. With the name being around for 70 years, it's safe to assume that Mercedes knows what they’re doing.
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.
The SL name has long been associated with sleek, graceful roadsters. In the late 50s and early 60s, Mercedes famously created the 300SL and the 190SL, and then the W113 SL series in the mid to late 60s, which were heralded as some of the best-looking cars of the era. Now the question lay, come the early 70s, could Mercedes keep up with this heritage? And they did, with the R107. Based on the W114 chassis, the R107 series was made from 1971 to 1989 as the sole 2-seater roadster in the Mercedes lineup. Following up on the success of the W113 SL in the US market, greater focus was placed on making the R107 more American-friendly, from the headlamps to the engine options. The 560SL was the flagship version in the US market, available from 1986 to 1989, with the 5.6L V8. The 500SL was even more powerful as it wasn’t held back by US emissions regulations but was never officially available in the US market for the same reason.
The Mercedes-Benz E-Class nameplate is most popularly seen upon the company’s four-door midsize luxury sedan offering, and has been the case for decades. But did you know that Mercedes-Benz also offers coupe and convertible choices? These have sometimes been marketed under different model designations. The first of the E-Class badged coupes and convertibles came about in 2010, with the C207 and A207. These took over from the Mercedes-Benz CLK. The series got a facelift for the 2013 model year, and this 2014 Mercedes-Benz E550 Convertible is a prime example of a post-facelift car. With 41,000 miles and all servicing up to date, it’s a fine boulevard cruiser and can easily serve as your daily driver, too.
What was the finest full-size luxury car that one could buy in the '80s? Many would say that it was the Mercedes-Benz W126 S-Class. Produced between 1979 and 1991 as a sedan and wagon, the W126 is considered to be the pinnacle of Mercedes-Benz in the 20th century. It’s no surprise that many discerning petrolheads would relish the chance to own and drive a W126 – because it’s a car that’s meant to be driven and enjoyed, not secreted away in a climate-controlled storage facility. So, we’re proud to make one lucky petrolhead’s dream come true, with this 96,000-mile 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560 SEL up for sale right now. Act fast, because W126s don’t hang around, and particularly not when they’re in great condition like this one.
The 1991 Mercedes-Benz 560SEL Sedan is from the second generation of the legendary Mercedes-Benz S-Class line. The W126 is so far the most successful and the longest in production generation of the iconic S-Class. The W126 project was led by Mercedes-Benz Chief designer Bruno Sacco who aimed to make the new S-Class more aerodynamic, efficient and retain the unmistakable design elements that makes the S-Class an S-Class. The weight was significantly cut down by extensive use of high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) sheets and polyurethane deformable material for the bumpers and side claddings. Lighter alloy material was used for the heavily revised 5.6-liter M117 V8 engine that this Mercedes-Benz 560SEL houses. It is also the biggest engine that you could have had with a W126 S-Class. Our featured car has a total of 80,000 miles on the odometer. We’re told this particular model has been treated to new parts and has had the front end completely rebuilt as reported by the current owner.

The Jaguar XJ is a full-size luxury car that was first introduced in 1968. It was the last model line to be created under the leadership of Jaguar’s founder, Sir William Lyons. The XJ was designed to offer traditional British luxury appointments and maintained its largely similar styling for many generations. However, in 2010, Jaguar introduced the X351 generation, which was a rapid departure from tradition. It took the motoring world by storm and was offered for nine years. Up for sale today is a 2019 Jaguar XJ R Sport for those who dare to be different. The car bears just 10,700 miles and comes with all maintenance reportedly up to date.
