It’s a hard fact, not all cars age well. That’s why it’s a great thing that this 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL is one of those cars that still looks good, and commands great desirability 33 years after it was born. The SL-Class by Mercedes-Benz dates back to 1954, and its third generation, known as the R107 ran from 1971 to 1989. From movie star, to being the car of choice for movie stars, this car’s value will only appreciate as time goes by. This specific example is from the last year of production, bears 113,000 miles on the odometer and has had some refreshment work done to it.
From 1971 to 1989, the design of the R107 went mostly unchanged, save for some incremental enhancements that you’d never know unless pointed out. Wearing a Pearl Black Metallic paint job, this 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL rolls on quintessential Eighties Mercedes-Benz chromed alloy wheels wearing reportedly new tires, and showcases the North American style headlamps that were mandatory at the time. We can also see that it’s wearing the color matching hardtop, and a black soft top is included too. That’s one of the SL’s party tricks. You get a hard top and a soft top, and you can choose which one to don according to your mood. Just remember to make your choice at home before you set out. The two seat interior of this 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL is predominantly black, but some wood trim on the dash adds color. The interior is mostly stock, save for the radio which is an aftermarket Soundstream unit that brings CD, AUX and USB connectivity to the table, and plays through a set of aftermarket speakers mounted on the rear luggage shelf behind the seats. You’ve got climate control, power windows, and power mirrors as factory features.
This 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL comes with the largest engine on offer, the 5.6L V8 with Bosch fuel injection that delivered 227hp at 5,200rpm and 287lb-ft at 3,500rpm when new. Power is sent rearwards through a four speed automatic transmission. The car has reportedly received a recent tune-up, new brakes, and new steering box to freshen it up.
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.
