The Appeal

This particular 1987 example, finished in striking Signal Red with Palomino leather interior, is especially noteworthy as a single-owner vehicle that was driven by its original keeper until its recent export to the Netherlands in 2025.
This 560SL comes with impressive documentation including its original USA title, Dutch import paperwork, Mercedes-Benz data card, and a clean Carfax report confirming its damage-free history. The comprehensive specification includes both the removable hardtop and black soft top, providing versatility for all weather conditions.
