The Appeal

The Mercedes-Benz R107 SL series represents one of the most successful luxury convertibles ever produced, with the 560SL standing as the ultimate evolution of this iconic model, specifically built for the tightening US market. This 1988 example, finished in elegant Barolorot (540), is from the final production year of the R107 - widely considered the most refined and desirable of the entire 18-year production run.

This particular 560SL comes with comprehensive documentation including its original Mercedes-Benz datacard, window sticker, and a clean Carfax report confirming its damage-free history. Having already been imported to Europe with all duties and VAT paid, this classic Mercedes appears in smart condition for collectors seeking a well-documented example of the flagship R107 model.
