Big, boxy, handsome and charismatic, the Mercedes-Benz R107 stands out for its balance of performance, comfort, and style, making it one of the most coveted classics of all time, and - thanks to top notch build quality - one of the most enduring, too.
This particular American-Spec 560SL, finished in its original livery, is a fine example for those wishing to get behind the wheel of perhaps one of history's greatest roadsters.
Under the hood, the original 5.6L V8 engine is still burbling capably. With a new Dutch technical inspection, a clean Carfax document, and all original manuals with service stamps, maintenance history, and a Mercedes Datacard, this 560SL is sure to prove very desirable for any enthusiast.
