Open-top motoring and the 80s were a fun time to be alive. Away from all the 80s tech and new features was the legendary Mercedes-Benz SL lineup of the 80s. What you got was a car that stayed relevant from the early 70s until the late 80s as a car that was pure automotive nirvana when behind the wheel with the top down. Finding examples that are in good condition has increasingly become a rare sighting until today. Present in all its roadster greatness is this lovely 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL Roadster we have today. With a reported 44,000 miles on the clock, being behind the wheel of this low mileage example calls for reliving the golden era of Mercedes-Benz and the 80s.

Power is sent to the car's rear wheels through an automatic transmission.
