1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL R107 Roadster

Here is the chance to own THE NEXT COLLECTABLE SL ROADSTER - Two Owner - 118,000 ORIGINAL and Documented Miles, very nicely kept, 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL. Its desirable and extremely rare Diamond Blue Metallic Paint shines beautifully and Powerful V8 engine purrs and runs strong as ever.

Now that the W113 230/250/280SL's have become priced out of sight, here comes the 560SL.

As recently as the mid 1990's, and early 2000’s you could pick up a nice condition 1971 280SL Pagoda Roadster for around $20,000. Almost in the blink of an eye, that's what a basket case now goes for - with good condition examples regularly selling north of $75k and more. There are good reasons for this: scarcity, limited production, and a demographic generational shift that shows the 50's and 60's muscle car prices have peaked andthe next generation is after the desirable cars they remember - which mostly came from Germany in the 70's, 80's and early 1990's.

In the 560SL, Mercedes got it all just right, offering essentially bullet-proof reliability, satisfying power, and aggressive good looks. The 560SL combined all that Mercedes learned about the V-8 W107 chassis cars into a cultural icon that quietly and confidently told the world its occupants had "arrived." Simplicity, superb build quality, and an enduring design are all hallmarks of the Mercedes 560SL. The 560SL was the culmination in the United States of what Mercedes-Benz internally referred to as the R107 chassis, a model run that lasted for 18 years, beginning in 1972 with the US introduction of the 350SL. The R107 chassis was one of the longest running production bodies in the Diamler-Benz AG's line, and R107s are extremely well built and collectable. It is also the first V8 powered two-seater to be built at the Stuttgart, Germany factory.

Now over 20 years old, 560SL’s are attracting new buyers due to its iconic good looks, simplicity, and vault-like build quality.
