DETAILED & READY TO ENJOY In 1971, Mercedes-Benz introduced the
all-new Type R107 350SL as the replacement for its long-running
230/350/280SL sporting convertible models. Design was executed by
Bruno Sacco, who was also responsible for the Mercedes-Benz S-Class
sedans of the 1970s. Somewhat larger and more rounded than its
predecessors, the new SL was based upon a steel unibody structure
and featured a more luxuriously appointed interior. Faster than
ever before, the new SL delivered more predictable handling and
safety features extending to the most minute detail. As expected,
Mercedes-Benz constantly refined and updated the R107, which
remained in production for nearly 20 years in five variants.
Powered by a 5.6-liter V-8 developing 227 rated horsepower and 279
pounds-feet of torque, the 560SL was the ultimate expression,
available from 1985 through 1989. As always, Mercedes-Benz SL
ownership, particularly in reference to the 560SL, clearly
signified that one had indeed "arrived," and this high-end image
continues unchanged today.Offered with just three owners from new,
this highly original survivor is attractive throughout, indicative
of proper maintenance and care over the years. Both the Signal Red
paint finish and Tan leather interior remain original. In addition
to the factory removable hardtop, this 560SL is well equipped for
enjoyable touring with air conditioning, power windows, and a
complete high-end Kenwood audio system. Books/manuals, a spare
wheel/tire, tool kit, and First Aid kit are also included. A
Chicago-area vehicle, this wonderful 1986 Mercedes-Benz 560SL has
been sparingly enjoyed during summer months and we understand that
it has always been properly garaged when not in use. Freshly
serviced and detailed, this 80's Mercedes icon is ready to enjoy.
