1986 Mercedes-Benz 560SL

Finished in Pastel Beige over Beige leather, this 1986 Mercedes-Benz 560SL offers 35k-mile time capsule temptation. A matching removable hardtop plus extensive records and extras make this R107-generation SL a 4-season heirloom ready for its next owner. Serene two-passenger appointments bring wood trim, polished brightwork, full-cabin leather, and matching carpets. Automatic climate control and a Becker AM/FM/Cassette stereo round out essential comforts. 

Signature styling cues showcase quad headlights flanking a 3-pointed star grille emblem and hood ornament. The sculpted front air dam and fog lights coordinate with straked lower side fascia, complemented by 15” Gullideckel wheels clad in Dunlop tires. Beneath the hood, robust 5.5L V8 power mated to 4-speed manual shifting sends power to the rear wheels. Power-assisted 4-wheel disc brakes bring capable control for modern use. A clean title, Carfax history, and Seller’s Disclosure bring peace of mind reflecting this example’s well-kept state of tune. 

The third generation Mercedes-Benz SL arrived in 1971. V8 power and opulent interior faire heralded a new era of sporting luxury. Improved fuel injection, a 4-speed transmission, and limited-slip differential characterized desirable late-build equipment to follow. With production running through 1989, the R107 SL embodied the best of German engineering when new, and remains an evergreen choice in elegant vintage motoring to the present day.
