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.
Exterior and Interior
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.

We’re told that this car has also got new brakes, new tires, new bulbs, new filters, a new stereo system, a new wood shift knob, new keys, and an included battery tender.

This 1967 Mercedes-Benz 230 SL Roadster shows approximately 28,430 miles and combines elegant open-top styling with the mechanical character enthusiasts expect from an early W113: a fuel-injected 2.3L inline-six, 4-speed manual transmission, rear-wheel drive, and fully independent suspension. Finished in dark blue over a tan interior with a white convertible soft top, it has the classic proportions, restrained chrome detailing, and driver-focused simplicity that make these cars so enduring. Upgraded Focal speakers add a subtle modern touch without taking away from the car’s unmistakably period atmosphere.
