Vehicle Description
If you're both a collector and a driver, this 1986 Mercedes-Benz
560SL is the kind of car that should get you excited. Not only does
the red paint shine with distinction, but also the overall crisp
presentation inside and out tells you you're getting a loaded V8
luxury machine that has been treated with the respect it deserved
since day one.
The R107 Mercedes SL is iconic because it represents an era when
very few companies could build a convertible without worrying about
safety regulations. Mercedes crafted their cars so robustly that
the R107 exceeded these standards, and they did it elegantly
without an unsightly roll bar. Today it remains elegant, powerful,
comfortable, timeless, and nimble... So It's a classic that can do
everything. This is a one-owner car, and it has been treated with
the proper care you expect from being cherished for decades. The
factory Signal Red paint received a quality respray later in life
so that you get a nice clearcoat shine when the light hits the
sheetmetal (exactly what you want in a sunshine-friendly
convertible.) And speaking of the body panels, they retain the
crispness that tells you Mercedes built these with quality, and
that this one has been treated with care to retain those standards.
The black folding roof matches so nicely with the bumpers that this
car almost has a two-tone presence, and when you want a coupe-like
profile, the optional hardtop goes on with true German
precision.
The Camel tan interior has a timeless look of sophistication
against the red. So while we love the way both roofs look when they
are in place, this one is also terrific when open to the world. The
condition of the leather bucket seats and wood trim are more
reminders of this car's proper care. Even the full carpeting has
the kind of plushness that gives you pride in ownership. The 560SL
was one of the most expensive cars Mercedes offered during its
reign, and so the features list is quite long. This includes
desirable conveniences such as power windows, power steering, power
locks, and cruise control. Plus, the stereo is an upgraded
AM/FM/XM/CD unit with USB input and Bluetooth, so you get to have
the best in modern music in a vintage Mercedes. Because this was
built in 1986, there are also more modern features than most R107s,
such as a third brake light and a driver's air bag. But your
favorite part will be the R134a air conditioning. It means this
luxury convertible will keep you comfortable even when the top is
down in the summertime.
The 560SL came with a big 5.6-liter V8 motor that had the power to
rival contemporary Rolls-Royces. And one look at this engine bay,
and you are reminded of this car's careful life. With the tidy
presentation, fresh components, and even factory decals, this is
exactly how you want your enduring Benz to be. On the road, an R107
has a fully-independent chassis that is the perfect balance of
elastic comfort and tight-handling. The four-speed automatic
transmission also strikes a balance between performance and
overdrive comfort cruising. The total package is finished off with
four-wheel disc brakes that include ABS.
Complete with owner's manual, they say that class is not something
that can't be bought, but purchasing this 560SL proves them wrong.
Although "exempt" on the title, the current mileage is believed
original. This is bold, robust, and absolute luxury. So don't let
this prime Mercedes slip away. Call today!!!
