TWO TOP ROADSTER – PRIME CONDITION
Offered here is a stunning original motor car, 560SL 2 top roadster. Average miles driven is less than 5,000 per year. It has been handled with extreme care for all of its years. It is in beautiful condition throughout. The previous owner saw fit to show it in his classic car garage. Now that 230/250/280SLs have been priced out of sight, here comes the 560 SL. Until recently a nice 280SL could be purchased for around $20,000. Almost overnight that's what a basket case goes for now. Average condition examples now sell for $65,000 plus. All collectors are now bullish about the 560SL. The 560SL is known for impeccable bodywork and high-quality paint. These cars are durable, ser-friendly and powerful; a top down cruiser that most recognize as a strong symbol of an era where Mercedes-Benz was the undisputed industry leader in build quality and reliability. When new, hey were a symbol that said “I've made it.” Today great 560SLs are a respectable investment with a rapid increase in value. ( see our photo gallery for NADA value guide) Mercedes-Benz said it best – engineered like no other car in the world.
