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.
The R107 design was revolutionary and is guaranteed to turn heads to this day as you drive by. The classic Mercedes-Benz styling on this 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL Roadster is brought to life with a white exterior that showcases all those design cues well. The body is in excellent condition, with factory components like the chrome bumpers and US Spec headlights also in great shape. In keeping with its factory styling, this car sits on a set of factory wheels. A blue interior would rarely work on a modern car, but the blue interior on this 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL Roadster looks the part and is made to stand out. Like the exterior, the interior is factory-fresh and sports all its original components from the factory cluster to the Becker sound system.
With seven engine trims to pick from, the cherry on top of the cake was the 5.6L V8 powertrain; the larger engine capacity meant more of that Mercedes-Benz refined power and some performance to ensure a smile as you negotiate some twisty B-roads. Pop open the hood of this 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL Roadster and what you will find is the legendary 5.6L V8 powertrain present and in really great shape. The engine bay is clean and showcases that this car has low mileage with factory Mercedes-Benz components like the air filter housing still present. Power is sent to the car's rear wheels through an automatic transmission.
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 R107 line of convertibles was highly regarded in the Personal Luxury Car market when it was introduced in the 1980s. Even today, its timeless style and instantly recognizable design make it one of the most sought-after classic Mercedes-Benz models from their back catalog. The 1987 Mercedes Benz 560SL Cabriolet was one of the most powerful models in the Mercedes lineup at the time. Introduced in 1986, it offered North American consumers a genuinely potent version of the SL—one that consumers had been desperate for since grey market examples of the 500SL were outlawed from sale in 1985. Our featured car is reported to have the original engine and transmission in place, with recent maintenance carried out to ensure the next custodian has many miles of worry-free classic motoring.
The Mercedes-Benz SL-Class has been representing the pinnacle of two-door grand tourers that Mercedes-Benz can make since its 1954 debut. Many generations have been made since then, and this 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG Convertible comes to you from the R230. Produced between 2002 and 2011, the R230 brought fresh styling and engineering. Of course, AMG got their hands on the model too, with a fearsome SL55 variant. That’s what this car is, and it’s got only 34,000 miles on the clock. So, if you want a contemporary, V8-powered roadster with plenty of modern touches but none of today’s excessive digital screens, this car is for you.
The Mercedes-Benz SLK was introduced in 1995. Mercedes-Benz wanted to offer something compact, sporty and luxurious with a twist. The twist came in the form of a folding metal roof that meant you effectively got two cars in one. The first generation ran between 1995 and 2004, and saw over 311,000 units sold. So if you’ve been lusting after one of these fine cruisers, check out this 2002 Mercedes-Benz SLK 320 that’s just come up for sale. The car has got all its maintenance up to date, and shows 86,000 miles on the odometer.
