The Appeal
The R107-generation Mercedes-Benz SL enjoyed a remarkable 18-year production run, and the range-topping 560SL, with its muscular 5.6-litre V8, remains one of the most desirable variants. Originally reserved for the North American market, these cars combined effortless grand touring ability with the build quality and engineering for which Stuttgart is renowned.
This 1986 example was originally delivered to California and is finished in Arctic White (147) over Palomino (274) leather. The paperwork file is notably thorough, including the original 1986 purchase invoice, approximately $4,000 worth of maintenance invoices, and photographic documentation of an engine rebuild carried out in 2008.
Mechanically, the car has recently benefited from new shock absorbers, a new front air conditioning system, and a full service. The vendor reports that it starts on the first turn of the key and pulls strongly. The car sits on its correct 'manhole cover' alloy wheels with a full-size spare. The vendor states the overall condition is very good, with only a few minor marks noted on the interior, bodywork, and underneath: a well-documented, V8-powered R107 worthy of consideration.image.png1.22 MB
