The R107 series of the Mercedes-Benz SL-Class is one of the best contemporary classic cars to get your hands on. Made between 1971 and 1989, many changes were made to this evergreen grand tourer from Germany’s most popular luxury automaker. So, if you’d like to get your hands on a R107, try this 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL as your next (or first) classic car. It’s from the last year of R107 production and has covered merely 41,907 miles so far. The current owner also tells us that the car has received a recent oil change.
Exterior and Interior
Dressed in Garnet paint, this 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL is definitely a head-turner and will still look great parked in the foyer of a luxury hotel today. The car comes with a color-matched removable hard top which can be detached and stored at home in the summertime when the weather is fine. Then, you’ve still got a soft top at your disposal in case it gets too sunny or rainy. Furthermore, this car wears a nice set of shiny silver 15-inch alloy wheels with Mercedes-Benz star-embossed center caps for some visual glitz. The two-seat interior of this 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL comes in a lovely beige theme, and the steering wheel features an airbag as was typical for later models of the R107. Highlights include cruise control, automatic climate control and a Becker Grand Prix radio with cassette tape player. The radio’s antenna is power-retractable as well, operated via a center console-mounted rocker switch. Other features include power windows and power mirrors. As for luggage, you’ve got a decently sized trunk, plus a padded area behind the two seats that can be used for more storage. On European models, this area hosted a small set of rear seats, but you’ll find that it’s more useful as a luggage storage area instead.
Engine
Under the hood of this 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL lies a 5.6-liter naturally aspirated V8 with Bosch KE-Jetronic fuel injection. The engine makes a healthy 227hp and 287lb-ft as per factory figures, and is paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission. The car is rear-wheel drive, with rear semi-trailing arm suspension. The front suspension uses double wishbones. It’s also got front and rear coil springs, as well as anti lock-backed disc brakes on all four wheels.
