The Appeal
The 560SL was the R107 strictly for the USA, with the largest V8 of the lot and all of the refinements that the car's Californian core audience expected. As a late-production model from the R107's 18-year production run, it benefits from a galvanised bulkhead, too.
This example is highly original, with its matching numbers 5.6L V8 engine and a clean CARFAX report confirming what appears to be an accident-free history. With all import duties and VAT already paid, plus complete Dutch import documentation alongside its USA title, all the buyer has to do is
