The Mercedes-Benz SL is the hallowed German luxury automaker’s pinnacle two-door offering. Since 1954, the SL has been around in some form, and the latest generation of this iconic model starts from this year onwards. Signifying ‘Super Leicht’, whilst the current and immediate past generation SLs may be anything but light, they make up for it with ample power and agility, resulting in fine grand tourers. This fine example is an R107-generation 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL Convertible that hails from California with a healthy 96,000 miles under its belt. It’s also got all maintenance records available from the date of purchase.
Enjoying a long production run from 1971 to 1989, the R107 SL was the only roadster in the Mercedes-Benz stable during that time. This 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL Convertible wears a clean Arctic White paint job and rolls on a set of chromed 15-inch period-correct wheels. Being a convertible, it’s endowed with a contrasting black soft-top, as well as a removable hardtop in white, giving you the best of both worlds with this fine boulevard cruiser. The interior is a similarly decent affair with gray leather and wood trim. Amenities include cruise control, power windows, power door locks, climate control, and a modern Clarion head unit with CD and MP3 compatibility. The switch for the power antenna lies directly above the head unit. The driver grips a four-spoked airbag-endowed steering wheel, directly ahead of the clear and easy-to-read Mercedes-Benz gauge cluster.
This 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL Convertible packs a 5.6L V8 with Bosch fuel injection. Whilst European-market cars with this engine got 237hp and 296lb-ft, US-market cars such as this one were slightly lower down on power, at 227hp and 287lb-ft owing to the emissions regulations of the time. Nevertheless, the zero-to-sixty sprint could be dispatched (when new) in under eight seconds, and a top speed of just under 140mph was possible, which is reasonable modern-level performance since this car is meant to be a cruiser rather than a bruiser. The drive is sent to the rear wheels via a Mercedes-Benz 4G-Tronic automatic transmission. Braking is via discs on all wheels with anti-lock braking for added safety.
