The 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL (chassis code R107) is a legendary luxury roadster prized for its tank-like build quality, timeless styling, and effortless V8 power. Produced from 1986 to 1989, the 560SL was the ultimate refinement of the R107 generation, which enjoyed an incredibly long and successful 18-year production run.

This specific example was purchased by the current family in 1996, mileage at that time was 66,102 and records are available. The vehicle changed hands to the daughter in 2010, as noted on the clean CarFax. One remarkable upgrade is that the rear parcel shelf did have seats and seatbelts installed. Original hardtop and stand are for sale with the car.
