The Standout

The Mercedes-Benz 560 SL represents the pinnacle of the legendary R107 generation. Produced for the North American, Australian and Japanese markets, it is equipped with the largest engine offered in the range: a 5.5-litre V8 combining smoothness, performance and driving pleasure. More than thirty years after the end of production, the 560 SL remains one of the most sought-after versions of the SL lineage.

This 1989 example presents itself in an elegant black combination with beige interior ("Tan"), a pairing particularly appreciated by enthusiasts of the model. With approximately 79,000 miles on the clock, or roughly 127,000 kilometres, this 560 SL displays mileage consistent with its age and benefits from a very well-maintained presentation.

The seller indicates that the bodywork, paint and interior are in very good condition, with only minor signs of use. Recent servicing has also been carried out, notably including replacement of the power steering pump as well as a mechanical overhaul. Located in France but retaining its American title, this 560 SL represents an interesting opportunity to acquire one of the most refined and desirable versions of the R107 family.
