It’s no surprise that we’ve seen a lot of Mercedes-Benz R107 SL-Class examples pass through our hands on to new and eager owners. This generation of SL ran between 1971 and 1989 and is widely hailed as one of the best modern classics you can find. Furthermore, the R107 generation was popular among movie stars, on and off-screen. It embodied the very spirit of Mercedes-Benz in producing timeless cruisers that didn’t compromise on luxury or comfort. Why not get your very own slice of R107 goodness with this 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL Roadster? It’s got just 78,000 miles on the clock and appears to be in excellent condition.
Arctic White is one of those colors that really speaks volumes when adorned on a car like this 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL Roadster. The color accentuates the timeless lines of the car, and while some people don’t like the North American-mandated safety bumpers, the color of this car naturally guides your eyes away from them. Then, you’ll find quintessential Mercedes-Benz cues such as the iconic silver alloy wheels and, of course, the Star on the front grille. Meanwhile, we’ve been informed that this car comes with a new OEM convertible top, as well as its original hard top and a new canvas top. That’s another beautiful thing about the R107 – it’s an all-season car. Pop on the hardtop during Autumn and Winter, and leave it at home for Spring and Summer – you’ve still got a canvas top in case it gets too warm or rains. The interior of this 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL Roadster is a two-seat affair with a padded luggage area behind the seats. On some European market models, a dinky set of rear seats was installed here. In this car, the space plays host to a pair of aftermarket speakers, and the Mercedes-Benz first-aid kit is an inclusion in all the brand’s cars. There’s a Kenwood head unit in the center console, as well as a new climate control system. You’ve also got controls for the power antenna here.
This 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL Roadster comes with a 5.6L V8 that was reportedly rated to make 227hp and 287lb-ft.

Selecting an Aston Martin as your next vehicle shows that you are a certain sort of person. The type that appreciates British design and sports car engineering, and most likely, a James Bond fan at heart too.

In fact, you can find Aston Martins in over half of the Bond films produced to date. Today’s Aston Martin of choice is a 2020 Aston Martin DB11 Volante from Fort Myers, Florida. The DB11 debuted 2016 and was made until 2023, in coupe and convertible (Volante) forms. This particular example packs a twin-turbo V8 and just under 6,100 miles on the clock.
