Description
L’Atelier des 1000 presents this elegant Mercedes-Benz 560 SL R107 in a particularly seductive configuration, pairing a diamond blue metallic finish with an interior in royal blue leather.
This iconic cabriolet wonderfully illustrates the automotive refinement of the 70s and 80s. Presented here in its top-spec version, the 560 SL is the culmination of the R107 range with its powerful 5. 6-litre V8, its high level of equipment and its Grand Tourisme orientation.
A true concentration of Mercedes-Benz craftsmanship, the W107 still today stands as an indispensable reference in the world of classic cars. The 560 SL version, developed for the North American market, stands out for its great reliability, ease of use and remarkable versatility, offering enjoyable use, with no compromises.
Our unit was delivered new in the United States in 1987. Its history shows that it had only four owners up to 2019, that maintenance has been carried out regularly and that its mileage is perfectly coherent.
Particularly well optioned by its first owner, the vehicle features numerous options such as:
• Royal blue genuine leather upholstery
• Air conditioning
• Electrically heated mirrors
• Becker Grand Prix radio
• Automatic antenna
• Anti-theft alarm
• Fold-down central armrest
• Sun visor with vanity mirror and courtesy light
• Thermally insulated windscreen
• Blue matching hood canvas
Mechanically, the 5. 6 L V8 starts easily, with no noise or smoke, delivering full power smoothly. The fuel pumps are new and maintenance has been carried out for sale.
Engine compressions have also been checked; they are within factory specifications and entirely balanced.
The automatic transmission is smooth, with seamless gear changes. The gearbox was recently refreshed and drained for sale.
The suspensions perform perfectly; road handling is sturdy and comfortable.
The rolling assemblies show no abnormal play; the upper ball joint boots have just been replaced.
The power steering unit is new, ensuring the flawless operation of the model’s Achilles heel.
The exhaust is in very good condition; it subtly enhances the round, characteristic V8 soundtrack.
Braking is powerful and balanced; all four brake hoses are new.
The original wheels are in very good condition and shod with tires in good usable condition.
The bodywork is in very good condition and the paint offers a handsome shine.
All chromes are perfectly gleaming.
The underbody presents very well and is free from corrosion, like the rest of the vehicle.
The alpaca blue soft top and its mechanism are in perfect condition, as is the hard top.
The interior, sober and elegant, typical of the manufacturer, is well preserved and comfortable.
The upholstery is in very good condition; it shows a light patina, to which we are particularly sensitive.
The door panels and the carpets are also very well preserved.
The wood trim is in good condition; it shows a more noticeable patina around the gear knob, the area being more exposed to UV. We can replace this part for an additional €200.
In view of its configuration, its overall condition and the quality of its maintenance, this 560 SL is offered at €25, 990. Trade-in and exchange possible.
