The Mercedes-Benz SL or ‘Sport Leicht’ nameplate is one of the German automaker’s longest-running, with continuous production since 1954 to date when the latest R232 generation goes on sale this year. The SL is their pinnacle Grand Tourer and looks fantastic cruising down Sunset Boulevard. If cruising is your thing, this third-generation R107 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL Roadster is just the ticket as it comes from California having only 69,200 miles. These cars were celebrity and movie icons in the Seventies and Eighties, and still, stand out on the roads today. It reportedly comes with all receipts and documentation of add-ons.
Exterior and Interior
1989 was the last year of the R107 generation before the R129 took over, ceasing its 18-year production run. Looking at this lovely black 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL Roadster, it’s not hard to see why the car was so popular with its classic Grand Tourer lines and proportions of a long hood and substantial overhangs. Look closer and you might wonder how an American VIN numbered car comes with European-style bumpers. In fact, the American mandated bumpers at the time sported a rather chunky nature, and somewhat detracted from the graceful lines of the model so the owner of this car has spent over $10,000 on European-style bumpers and accessories to give it a cleaner look. It’s also got a set of newer AMG five-spoke wheels with a new set of tires reported. If this doesn’t gel well with you, the original American bumpers and wheels are included in the sale too. Matching the black exterior comes an equally black interior that seats two occupants with a small luggage area behind to augment the boot. Climate control is on hand to keep you comfortable regardless of the weather outside. A new Pioneer sound system has been installed. Being a later-model SL, you also get a driver airbag.
Engine
This 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL comes with a 5.6L V8 that puts out 227hp and 287lb-ft to the rear wheels via a Mercedes-Benz 4G-TRONIC four-speed automatic gearbox, a combo that guarantees effortless cruising without breaking a sweat. This has also received new brakes and some mechanical refurbishments too.
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.
