Highlights
- Rare in Europe

The Appeal
Fabulous build quality, sleek styling and the practicality of a roadster that also features a removable hard top: there are many reasons to desire an SL of this vintage. But if you want the ultimate version then you have to look to the US, which was the only recipient of the range-topping 560SL.
This example spent most of its life in the sunshine state of Florida and has been imported to the Netherlands with VAT and import duties fully paid. It can therefore be registered straightforwardly in any EU country. With an attractive colour combination and a creamy 5.6 litre V8, it’s an enticing prospect.
