Imported from the USA with all taxes and duties paid
Powerful 5.6L V8 with automatic transmission
Great colour combination
The Plus
With the largest engine ever installed in the famous R107, it's no wonder the 560SL has been a hit in the US. With its distinctive squared-off styling and elegant wood interior, the American R107s had the elegance of the Old Continent combined with the power of an American muscle car. Naturally, it was a resounding success.
This example comes to us in excellent condition, with an attractive Signal Red colour, original wheels and a beige leather interior. During the last year of ownership, the vendor carried out extensive work, creating a stylish, attractive and easy-to-drive retro classic.
