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.
Exterior and Interior
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.
Engine
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.
Few grand tourers wear their age as gracefully as the 1986 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL, and this example captures the R107 formula in one of its most desirable late-production forms. Showing approximately 39,199 miles, it pairs a Signal Red exterior with a Palomino leather interior and Dark Brown convertible soft top, giving it the quintessential color combination many enthusiasts associate with the era. As the flagship U.S.-market R107, the 560 SL blended V8 power, understated luxury, and timeless styling into a roadster that remains one of Mercedes-Benz’s most recognizable classics.
The 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL represents the final and most developed chapter of the long-running R107 roadster, pairing classic Mercedes-Benz styling with V8 power and a luxury-focused driving experience. Showing 111,950 miles, this example is finished in Arctic White over Alpaca Gray leather with a black convertible soft top. Its specification includes automatic climate control, a folding front armrest, heat-insulating green glass, a heated rear window, and a Sony audio head unit. With its upright grille, long hood, compact two-seat cabin, and unmistakable R107 profile, the 560 SL remains one of the most recognizable Mercedes-Benz roadsters of its era.
The 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL represents the final and most developed iteration of the long-running R107 SL platform, combining classic Mercedes-Benz roadster styling with the smooth V8 power and refinement expected of the flagship 560 model. Showing 148,002 miles, this example is finished in Desert Taupe Metallic over a Pebble leather interior and is accompanied by both a Dark Brown convertible soft top and a body-colored removable hard top. Automatic climate control, heat-insulating green glass, and an anti-theft alarm system add to the grand-touring character, while the 5.6L V8 and rear-wheel-drive layout give the 560 SL the relaxed yet capable performance that made it one of the defining luxury roadsters of its era.
This 1999 Mercedes-Benz G 320 is a particularly appealing short-wheelbase W463, combining the compact proportions enthusiasts seek with a thoughtful mix of original Mercedes-Benz hardware and later upgrades. Showing approximately 50,797 actual miles, this European-import example is finished in Tanzanite Blue Metallic over a reupholstered tan leather interior. Its 3.2L naturally aspirated M112 V6, 5-speed automatic, and 4WD preserve the classic G-Class mechanical character, while later OEM Mercedes-Benz body components, Bilstein shocks, modern lighting, upgraded audio, and smartphone connectivity make it considerably easier to enjoy today.
This 1983 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL captures the elegant grand-touring character that made the R107 one of Mercedes-Benz’s most enduring roadsters. Showing approximately 112,669 miles, this European-specification example pairs its 2.8L naturally aspirated M110 inline-six with a 4-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. Finished in Champagne Metallic over a Brazil leather interior, it also features both a brown convertible soft top and a removable body-colored hardtop, giving it genuine year-round versatility. European-market headlights and bumpers, classic 14-inch Bundt alloy wheels, and period-correct cabin details give this 280 SL the unmistakable look and feel of an early-1980s Mercedes roadster.
The Mercedes-Benz W113 SL is one of those designs that needs very little introduction, and the 230 SL is where the celebrated “Pagoda” story began. This 1967 Mercedes-Benz 230 SL Roadster shows approximately 28,430 miles and combines elegant open-top styling with the mechanical character enthusiasts expect from an early W113: a fuel-injected 2.3L inline-six, 4-speed manual transmission, rear-wheel drive, and fully independent suspension. Finished in dark blue over a tan interior with a white convertible soft top, it has the classic proportions, restrained chrome detailing, and driver-focused simplicity that make these cars so enduring. Upgraded Focal speakers add a subtle modern touch without taking away from the car’s unmistakably period atmosphere.
