The Appeal
The R107 version of the SL encapsulated Mercedes' ethos of restrained style and engineering excellence which is why it remains a popular classic. But in Europe we were denied its ultimate version as Mercedes saved the largest V8 engine for the US market.
Fortunately, 560SLs do from time to time make it over the water to Europe and here we have once such car. Under the long bonnet lies a 5.6L V8 with immense torque, good for whisking occupants along in hushed luxury, top up or down.
The interior is pampered with leather and wood and the car is equally at home on boulevards or scenic highways. For those appreciating refinement, quality materials and the joy of relaxed open-air cruising, the a 560SL remains an icon.
